Friends of Change Islands
he Friends of Change Islands Association section of the Change Islands website is where individuals, who have an affinity to Change Islands because of birth, are expatriates, currently reside there, or would just like to support this beautiful heritage community can help with the preservation of its material and living cultural heritage. One can be very active or just behind the scenes, supporting activities by providing strategies, opinions, suggestions, material and moral support, etc.
The following are examples of some of the activities that the Association could undertake:
- Restoration or heritage homes and public structures

- Organize an annual special event to celebrate and enjoy the beauty of the Islands and the uniqueness of its residents
