Peace, Love and Fraternal Greetings! The occasion of the launching of this Newsletter is yet another means of communicating with you and strengthening the existential bond which unites us in love and devotion to our homeland. Despite the vicissitudes and vagaries and buffetings of a world financial and economic crisis, Vincentians in the U.K. have not wavered or slackened in their support to their loved ones in the home country. Your remittances and other material, emotional and financial support, have gone a long way in cushioning the most devastating effects on our people.

We applaud you and express our deep appreciation for what you have done over the years, and continue to do .

n April 24th & 25th this year,

Harlequin held an open

weekend at Wembley Stadium

to celebrate the opening of its first resort in

the Caribbean, the Buccament Bay Resort

on St Vincent & The Grenadines, in July

2010. This was an opportunity for the 2500

(approx.) persons present on both days, to

meet the team behind the opening of the

most exciting new resort in the Caribbean.

Chairman of the Harlequin Resorts, Dave

Ames, in his opening address said he knew

the guests were hoping to meet with the

Prime Minister, Dr. Gonsalves, but due to

certain circumstances Dr. Gonsalves was

unable to attend the Pre-launch. He also

mentioned that despite all efforts made,

the St. Vincent and the Grenadines [SVG]

delegation was unable to travel to

London. This, he explained, was due to

the flight disruption that Iceland’s volcanic

eruption was causing for flights entering UK

airspace.

Speaking on the background to the

decision by Harlequin, to develop the

project, Mr. Ames explained that the

project at Buccament was being

developed with the intention of

involving the local community. In

naming some examples of this local

involvement, he referred to the plans

for the inclusion of the Liverpool

Football Club to engage in a Soccer

School at the Resort, the Pat Cash

Tennis Academy, purchasing of fresh

fruits and vegetables from members of

local co-operatives and the

procurement of fish and fish products

from fishing co-operatives/fishermen.

He also referred to benefits, including

employment, which the project would

bring to SVG. Several other persons

who had visited the Buccament Bay

Resort also spoke in favour of the

development.

Among the specially invited guests at

the event, were Cenio Lewis, High

Commissioner for SVG in London, Mrs. Doris

Charles -Minister Counsellor, and the SVG

Tourist Office in London represented by Ms.

Barbara Mercury and Ms. Gracita Wilson.

The Prime Minister, Dr. Gonsalves, who was

unable to attend the event, sent a

statement to be read at the Pre-launch. In

his statement, the Hon. Prime Minister

apologised that he was unable to attend

the event but stated that he was there

‘through a joyous spirit.’

The Prime Minister said that the

Buccament Bay Resort was ‘simply

magnificent’. He mentioned the

building of the international airport

which he said will be of the ‘finest

standard’ and will be opened to traffic

by June 2012. The Prime Minister’s

statement also reflected a

commitment by his government to its

“partnership with Harlequin.” In

concluding his statement, the PM said

he was sure that the Buccament Bay

Resort would be “a tremendous

success for tourists, investors and the

people of St. Vincent and the

Grenadines.”

The Prime Minister’s Statement was

enthusiastically received by the guests,

as sincere congratulations were

extended to the Harlequin team

behind the project. The Pre-launch,

well attended, had a mixed

representation of business persons,

potential tourists and others who

came, out of interest to learn about

the project.

The Launch of the Buccament Bay Resort

in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is

scheduled for the 2nd of July this year.



CARIFORUM calls on EU to honour Economic Partnership Agreements

he Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM) of

African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)

States on Monday, called on the

European Union (EU) to review and honour

their commitment to the provisions of the

Cotonou and Economic Partnership

Agreements.

During their meeting which preceded the

Sixth EU-LAC Summit at the IFEMA Centre in

Madrid, Spain, Prime Minister of St Vincent

and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, who

spoke on behalf of CARIFORUM,

enumerated the strides made by the

Caribbean against the odds of the global

economic challenges.

The CARICOM Single Market and

Economy, he said, was making strides

despite the many challenges it faced.

CARIFORUM continued its efforts at

deepening and expanding, with the

membership of the Dominican Republic in

CARICOM under consideration and

significant in-roads had been made in

respect of ALBA and the newly created

CALC.

Notwithstanding those gains however, Dr.

Gonsalves hastened to point out to EU

representatives that the Caribbean’s best

efforts would come to ‘nought’ if the EU

did not honour the consultation provisions

of the Cotonou and EPA Agreements.

In doing so, Dr. Gonsalves reminded the EU,

of the importance of ensuring that their

other bilateral trade agreements were not

pursued at the expense of the Caribbean

region; that they facilitated the

effectiveness of accompanying and

support measures intended to provide

relief to the Caribbean region and that

they urgently undertook an assessment of

the impact of trade liberalisation with Latin

America on CARIFORUM countries.

He suggested that one area in which the

EU could collaborate with CARIFORUM was

that of Food Security. According to the St

Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister,

“agriculture remains an important

contributor to rural development, GDP,

employment and export earnings in our

region. At the same time, the food import

bill in CARICOM is more than US$2 billion

annually. The returns to investment in

Agriculture in the Region are dwindling at

the same time the Region is faced with

volatile food and agricultural prices.”

Against this background, he stated that a

CARIFORUM Food Security Programme

would benefit from support for a Bio-

Security Policy, Agribusiness Development,

Agricultural Health and Food Safety

laboratories and systems.

He added that innovative systems could

contribute positively to food security in the

region and pointed out that there was

significant scope for CARIFORUM-EU

collaboration in a system which included,

capacity building for Sustainable

Institutional Development; a Policy and

Incentive Environment; a Tripartite

Collaboration (Triple Helix Approach).

“…while regional integration and

cooperation are touted from the rooftops,

as central pillars of ACP/EU and

CARIFORUM/EU Cooperation, no provisions

are made for access to V-FLEX and other

such mechanisms by sub-regions like the

OECS which desperately require such

support,” Prime Minister Gonsalves

lamented.

The Vulnerability Flex Mechanism (V-Flex) is

a crisis Fund set up by the EU in December

2009 to cushion the blow of the global

crises to some CARIFORUM countries. To

date eleven African and two Caribbean

countries have benefited from the Fund.

Gonsalves acknowledged the move by the

EU for its initiative in creating the V-FLEX

Mechanism, noting that in doing so it had

demonstrated leadership. However he

observed that EU could further enhance its

standing by increasing the resources

available to the mechanism, expanding its

duration and making provision for sub-

regions like the OECS which had already

moved to full monetary union

“Let there be no doubt that regional

integration and cooperation are

instruments to achieve the sustainable

development of CARIFORUM. Let there be

no doubt that the region appreciates the

contribution of the EU to its efforts. Let there

be no doubt that unless the EU is careful, it

can undo the positive contribution by its

unilateral actions and bilateral

commitments on commodities to those

outside of the ACP…Let there be no doubt

that EU Financing Mechanisms, like the V-

FLEX, can play an even greater role in

supporting Caribbean development than it

currently does,” Gonsalves concluded.***

“Sponsor a Vincy Child” Programme launched

On the 28 February 2010, the ‘Sponsor a

Vincy Child’ programme was launched at

the High Commission for St. Vincent and

the Grenadines (SVG), London. The

programme is operated as a joint venture

between the SVG High Commission and

two “SVG focused” charity organisations

based in the UK, namely: the ‘St Vincent

and the Grenadines-UK Outreach’ (SVG-

UK Outreach) and ‘St. Vincent Children’s

Aid and Welfare Fund - charity no. 287371’.

The programme is aimed at encouraging

Vincentians and friends to make a long

term commitment to sponsoring a school

child in need, in St. Vincent and the

Grenadines, by donating £60 a year. The

money collected from sponsors will be

converted into vouchers to contribute

towards the purchase of school uniforms

and/or school supplies. The children in

receipt of sponsorship on this programme

will be presented with their vouchers at a

public ceremony to be held annually.

At the launch of the programme, Michelle

James and Gwynneth Hamilton, Co-Chairs

of SVG-UK Outreach organisation, were

entrusted with the task of providing

detailed information and answering

questions about the programme.

H.E. Cenio Lewis, also speaking at the

launch, challenged the audience to

become sponsors of a “Vincy child” in

need and stressed on the big difference

that a “little extra” can make. He also

stressed the importance of education,

saying that ‘Education today is of the

utmost importance for the development of

the individual and we want to give as

many ‘Vincy’ children as possible, any

assistance which would contribute to,

what the former Minister of Education

described as “every child, every chance”.

Light entertainment was provided by

Mikhail Charles performing, on his

recorder, his rendition of Becket’s “St.

Vincent I love you” and Vibrating Scake’s

“Our nation is born”. Refreshments for the

event were provided by the members of

the SVG new Association.

High Commissioner Lewis and German Ambassador exchange signed Agreements

High Commission’s Staff meeting

St. Vincent and the Grenadines ‘white-listed’ by the Organization for Economic

Co-operation and Development (OECD)

n March 24th 2010, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

completed six (6) Tax Information Exchange Agreements

(TIEAs), respectively with the following Nordic countries: the

Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Signing in Paris on behalf of St. Vincent and the Grenadines was H.E. Mr.

Wafic Said, St. Vincent and the Grenadines Permanent Representative

to UNESCO.

These six (6) TIEAs carried St. Vincent and the Grenadines over the

threshold of the twelve (12) TIEAs required to demonstrate that the

country has implemented the internationally agreed tax standards.

TIEAs with Germany and France were also signed before March 31st

2010. Signing with Germany, on behalf of St Vincent and the

Grenadines, was H. E. Cenio Lewis, High Commissioner for St Vincent

and the Grenadines to the UK.

Ms. Sharda Bollers, the Executive Director of the St Vincent and the Grenadines International Financial Services Authority said “this is

certainly positive news for the jurisdiction. At the same time, one must bear in mind that the next step for the OECD is a Peer Review process

whereby countries will be assessed to see if they have in fact implemented the legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of

information”.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is scheduled to undergo such a review in 2011.***

Permanent Secretary, Andreas Wickham, visits High Commission The new Permanent Secretary to the

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Commerce and

Trade in St. Vincent and the Grenadines,

Mr. Andreas Wickham, recently visited the

offices of the High Commission for St

Vincent and the Grenadines in London. Mr.

Wickham, appointed earlier this year by the

Government, was on an official visit to

Europe, in May. Staying over in London, the

Permanent Secretary took time out to visit

the staff at the Mission, and was given the

opportunity to sit in on one of the regular

staff meetings of the Mission. His visit also

provided an opportunity for formal introductions of both the Permanent Secretary and some members of staff.

Buckinghamshire County Schools forge links with Schools in St. Vincent and the

Grenadines (SVG) arlier this year, 6th -12th March, Yvette

Thomas, a Vincentian national

residing in the UK, led a delegation of

School leaders from the county of

Buckinghamshire, to St. Vincent and the

Grenadines, with the intention of forging links

between schools in Buckinghamshire and St

Vincent and the Grenadines . The main

purpose of the visit was for individual

institutions to meet to discuss future joint

curriculum work and for the area coordinator

to meet their counterparts to build the

relationship, discuss future joint area activity

and develop joint strategies for supporting

individual schools within the partnership.

Here follows, Yvette’s report on the group’s

visit:

“Arrival Saturday 6th March

The Delegation was greeted at E.T Joshua

Airport by Senior Education Officer in the

Ministry of Education Carlton Hall. We were

then taken to our hotel where we

acclimatised slowly to the heat and the new

environment. We were given a historical

perspective on the island of St. Vincent and

the Grenadines with a tour of Fort Charlotte

which was a real eye opener for the visitors to

the island as they learnt about how the island

had developed during the period of slavery

and the impact that had on the cultural

make up of the island. We later went

to visit Young Island. One of the

headteachers was invited to visit a rural

village Calder to be the guest of

honour at a Party organised by the

extended family of one of her pupils

back in England! Mrs. O’Brien found this

to be a very rewarding trip and was

touched by the hospitality of the family

and villagers who came out to meet

her.

Monday 8 March

The official ceremonies began first

thing in the morning with the Ministry of

Education hosting a welcoming ceremony at

the ‘Curriculum Centre’ building in Kingstown

In attendance were besides the visiting

delegation all senior officials at the Ministry

along with some of the host Headteachers for

the week. Unfortunately the Secondary

Headteachers were not present. We

received warm words of welcome from the

Chief Education Officer (Ag) Ms Louanne

Gilchrist as well as the Permanent Secretary in

the Ministry of Education Mrs. Nicole Bonadie.

The media unit gave a presentation on the

island and its virtues. We had performances

from primary pupils playing the steel drums

and a charming pupil sang the National

Anthem of SVG. On behalf of the delegation

I thanked the Ministry for putting on such an

event and gave an outline of the purpose of

our visit. Each visiting head then introduced

themselves. We ended the morning event

with lunch, each Headteacher was then

taken to visit their host school and meet the

staff.

I spent the afternoon with the Senior

Education Officers in the Ministry of Education

discussing the week’s plans and ensuring that

each day activities were planned and

organised with their agreement. I

then visited two of the schools to

monitor progress.

Tuesday 9 March

All Heads in spent the day their

respective schools working with

their host on plans for the week

and beginning discussions about

the future plans for the project. I

spent the morning at a Secondary

School Headteacher workshop

where I spoke about the work of

E

the British Council and the specific

project we were working on. I also ran a

session on ‘Self Evaluation’ at the request

of the Ministry of Education. This was a

pleasure to do and was well received by

those present. In the afternoon, we were

invited to meet the Prime Minister of SVG

for what we believed would be a half an

hour audience however Prime Minister

Gonsalves spent nearly two and a half

hours discussing our work in England, in

the schools in Kingstown and our future

plans. He was very impressed with the

project and wished us all the best for future

endeavours and hoped to see us make

regular visits to support schools in SVG. The

visiting Heads found the Prime Minister to be

charming and were impressed with his ability

to talk on just about any topic that came up

with sound knowledge. As one headteacher

described him ‘he is a fascinating character’

and they all agreed they could have spoken

to him and listened to him for much longer!

Wednesday 10 March – Friday 12th

Our first official visit with the Minister of

Education Mrs. Girlyn Miguel took place first

thing in the morning. She extended a warm

welcome to all of us and hoped that our visit

would prove fruitful. The British delegation was

then taken on a visit to a rural Primary

Biabou Primary and Adelphi Secondary

school. The Ministry was keen for the

delegates to see the contrast in schooling

between urban and rural. As project

lead, I made visits to the host schools to

see how each host head was getting on

with their guest and how committed they

were to the project. Each Head was very

excited at the prospect of the projects

they were already planning to do and

they indicated that despite some

resourcing issues that had yet to be

ironed out they were very happy and

enjoyed learning from their visiting counter

part. The visiting senior leaders did a variety

of activities during the week including

teaching, observing lessons, sharing

information on self evaluation with the host

Headteacher.

Outcomes

1. All 8 school partnerships

came away with a plan of

action for future work to take

place between the

respective schools.

2. I am currently planning a

conference for the 2010/11

academic year to take

place in the Autumn term

where school linking will focus

highly. Four of the UK delegates have already committed to working with me on this and leading workshops related to their experience and

planned projects with their counter part schools.

3. The UK delegates have already spoken to their liaison group meetings and shared with their colleagues their experience and extolled the

virtues of this work.

4. Several of the participants are now going to work towards their International

School Awards

Conclusion

We as a group of educators in Buckinghamshire are very grateful for the opportunity

to visit SVG and the funding we received from the British Council to do so. Without

this it would not have been possible. The group as a whole had a fantastic time and

an opportunity to learn first hand about the peoples and culture that make up SVG

and relate this to their school community back in Britain. We appreciate the kind

and warm welcome we received and the hospitality of the schools that we

engaged with. The relationships have now been forged and we believe that they

will be long lasting with school leaders in communication on a regular basis and

work beginning between the link schools.”

Vincentian National receives “Commander-in-Chief” Fleet’s Commendation

22nd April 2010, LONDON: Vincentian national, Livingstone

Spencer, serving with the Royal Navy received a ‘Commander-In-

Chief Fleet’s Commendation’ for his part in saving the life of a

colleague.

Spencer who formerly served in the C.I.D of the Royal St Vincent

and the Grenadines Police Force was recruited by the Royal Navy

during their visit to SVG in April 2005, and joined the Royal Navy in

2006. Less than three years after joining the Navy, he

demonstrated his commitment and professionalism as a serving

member of the Royal Navy.

On the cold morning of 19 January 2009 Spencer’s ship, HMS

SOMERSET, was engaged in a training exercise in heavy seas and

high winds. During a sharp turn, an unusually large wave broached

the Ship’s deck and two members of the Ship’s Company were

swept into the sea. One of the sailors life jacket automatically

inflated, however the other did not. As the duty first aider, Spencer

was part of a team of three dispatched in a small rescue boat to

find the two sailors.

The two sailors were in the freezing rough water for around 12

minutes before being eventually located by the team. One Sailor

was unconscious and the other, on the verge of exhaustion,

supported him. When the rescue team found the sailors, Spencer

checked the unconscious casualty for a pulse but found none. The

unconscious sailor appeared to be dead and had a mixture of

blood and foam coming from his mouth, nose and eyes and his

face was blue.

Spencer, being helped at intervals by one of the rescue team,

administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation throughout the transit

back to his ship. The return to the ship was treacherous due to the

sea conditions, with the boat continually leaving the water as it

crested large waves resulting in Spencer suffering a cut lip and two

chipped teeth. As the boat neared deck edge level, the casualty

gave a small cough. Spencer then checked for a pulse and found

one. He helped place the still unconscious casualty onto a spinal

board stretcher and passed him to members of the Ship. Once the

casualty had been stabilised onboard the ship by his medical

team, he was airlifted to hospital where he was placed on a

ventilator and rushed to intensive care. After 48 hours, he had

recovered enough to be moved to a general Ward, and

eventually made a full recovery.



Admiral Sir Trevor Soar KCB OBE who presented the award to

Spencer said… “If it were not for Logistician Spencer’s courage

and tenacity in giving life-saving first aid to his drowned shipmate,

whilst his own life was endangered in extremely inhospitable

conditions, there is no doubt that the casualty would have lost his

life. He is therefore thoroughly deserving of this Commander-in-

Chief Fleet’s Commendation”.

A beaming Spencer said “I am very honored and gratified to have

received such an award but I must give thanks to God and all

those who stood beside me encouraging me to push on for the

best. It was not a very pleasant scene and the conditions were

very bad but I did what I had to do to make sure that my Ship

mate stayed alive”.

H.E. Mr Cenio E. Lewis who also attended the ceremony,

congratulated Spencer on his achievement and said “I am very

impressed by Spencer’s professionalism and I am very pleased that

I have been invited here today to represent the government and

people of St Vincent and the Grenadines in giving Spencer our

support”.

Also in attendance at the ceremony were Ms Carolin de Freitas-

Sawh, Counsellor, and Spencer’s proud sponsors, Miss Janet

Jackson and her daughter Mrs. Susan Nwalema, whom he regard

as his family in UK and who have sponsored him since his arrival

from SVG to join the Royal Navy.

On successful completion of his Command Course, in May,

Spencer is due for a promotion to ‘a higher rank’, in July.***

Commonwealth Youth Reps. visits SVG High Commission

undreds of young people up and down the UK

have been busy learning about Commonwealth

countries as part of the Royal Commonwealth

Society’s Youth Summits project. Forty (40) of these young

people were invited to London to attend a special National

Youth Summit. On Monday 12th of April, some staff

members of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines High

commission took delight in assisting the Commonwealth

Youth Organisers with this exciting event.

These young persons, age ranging from 13-18 years old,

took part in a Treasure Hunt around London. Starting at the

Commonwealth Head Quarters, their aim was to visit a

number of Commonwealth High Commissions to collect

information about Commonwealth countries and the

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The High

Commissioner – H.E Cenio Lewis, Minister Counsellor – Doris Charles and Counsellor – Mrs. Carolin de Freitas-Sawh made brief presentations

on St. Vincent and the Grenadines progress towards the Health and Education Millennium Goals, and discussed ways in which the

international community, and young people in the UK, can help to achieve the MDGs.

The team was given a small national memento to show that they visited the St. Vincent and the Grenadines High Commission in London.

From all indications the session presented was well received by the participants. A light snack was provided by the High Commission to the

participants.

The previous British government proposed several significant changes to UK immigration policy prior to the General Elections in May.

These included:

1. Introducing ‘Earned Citizenship’ in July 2011 whereby applicants would have to sit a more academic version of the ‘Life in

the UK’ test, as well as show how they have contributed to British society. In addition, applicants would have to be legally

residing in the UK for a longer period before being eligible to apply.

2. Refusing British visa applications submitted by applicants who had defaulted on payment of NHS bills.

3. Making it a requirement that visitors to the UK provide evidence of adequate travel health insurance for entry to the UK.

The new UK Government is currently reviewing all UK immigration policies. This may result in some changes. However it is unlikely that

any changes would benefit Vincentian Nationals.

With regard to British citizenship, the High Commission wishes to advise that Vincentian nationals, wishing to apply for British

citizenship, submit their applications to the Home Office before July 2011or, if possible, before April 2011 when application fees are

expected to increase.

was to raise awareness of the plight of the Haitian children and to raise monies that would go towards the alleviation of poverty. The event

held on the 14th March, was very successful in the sense of motivating and mobilising full attendance in a hall that held over 400. Guests

and nationals were treated to both cultural and spiritual aspects of the night’s programme. A range of cultural entertainment included

artiste like Roland Sutherland, Ken Wiseman, Mikhail Charles, and Allan Charles among others. The cultural show and the presentations were

chaired by Mr. Decent Henry of the London Association.

A feature address was delivered by Minister Counsellor Mrs. Doris Charles whose speech is

included below:

Your function today is counted among some of the best possible ever. You are saying

tonight that:

� You are ready and willing social partners [of sorts] with all peoples of the Caribbean

� You understand and share in their dilemma

� You strongly support our Haitian neighbours and our nation’s youth

� You still believe that our nation state’s ambition is for regional integration – since we

share a common ancestry

We are first and foremost human beings and can empathise with one another. We know

what tragedy and suffering are. Let us not forget, that, not too long ago we suffered the

consequences of a natural disaster – the eruption of our volcano. Then we have had

varying experiences with floods, earthquakes and such like…

I thank you on behalf of my government, for responding the way you did and in the things

you are doing right now…

I am confident that our calendar on a yearly basis should reflect this item – of cultural,

spiritual and economic relevance to our nation and members of the Diaspora. We at the

mission are proud and committed to support you all the way. Thank you for having us and

God [is] praised for your dedication to poverty alleviation and your spiritual endeavours.

God bless.”

It is believed that the moneys collected will go a long way in assisting both the children of

Haiti and ST. Vincent and the Grenadines.***

Decent Henry at his home in North London

Meet a Vincy – Decent Renrick Henry Educator, Humanitarian, Entertainer

ecent Renrick Henry, known to most as “Decent”, was born

1954 to his Parents, Joseph and Nola Jackson of Dickson

Village, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Relative to the

Balcombes and the Henrys, Decent grew up in Dickson and Obrien’s

valley. He gained his primary education at the Dickson Methodist

School and continued onto the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Boys

Grammar School, where he graduated in 1972. In 1973, Decent

became a teacher and taught at the Byera Anglican School. During

this period Decent was also diagnosed with Kidney failure and was

placed on medication to assist the functioning of his Kidneys.

Decent the Educator

Teaching at the Byera Anglican School was always a joy for Decent.

Here, he was highly successful in preparing children for national

examinations and for entry into secondary schools. Decent recalled that, back then, there were students from other schools who travelled

from far to come to the Byera Anglican School. This, he said, was due to the successful record that the Byera Anglican School held in

national examinations. Decent explained that this is something he would always be proud of because, at that time, Byera was a poor area

and it helped that the school was producing excellent results. To Decent, the village of Byera would always be remembered as a land

mark area for him as it is the place where he contributed to the lives of children, some of whom are, today, leaders in St Vincent and the

Grenadines.

In 1975 the St Vincent and the Grenadines Union of Teachers became disgruntled with working conditions and decided to take industrial

action. As president of the North Windward Branch of the Teacher’s Union and an executive member of the National Committee, Decent

played a very active role in the teacher’s strike. Decent explained that he was very proud to be a part of the strike as it was “a historic

push” for teachers who were treated badly under the then ruling administration. That, he said, was the time the teachers “had a voice,

having been tear-gassed”. For Decent, “it would go down in history that the teacher’s then, made a mark for all teachers in St Vincent and

the Grenadines, both present and future. We were a combined force!” he exclaimed.

Decent, unaware that his Kidney troubles were progressively getting worse, continued teaching and being an active member of his

community. Sadly, for Decent, his teaching experience in St Vincent and the Grenadines came to an end in 1976 when his Kidneys failed

to respond to the medication. His situation was now at a chronic stage and needed advanced medical treatment. It was then the St

Vincent and the Grenadines Union of Teachers under the leadership of Mike Brown who was President at the time, spearheaded a

fundraising drive to which Vincentians contributed extensively, enabling Decent to travel to England for Dialysis treatment. For this, Decent

expressed that he’s very grateful to Vincentians.

In 1976, Decent arrived in England where he was due to receive medical treatment. He expressed a feeling of gratitude towards the

Vincentian Association in London for their remarkable support upon his arrival in the UK. He remembered feeling very sad and missing

home; and for him, “life would not have been easy without the Association’s support”. He also recalled that one particular Vincentian, Mr.

Lemuel Findley, assisted him immensely in settling into his new surroundings.

Decent later learned that he could not return to St Vincent and the Grenadines as a result of his kidney failure and his reliance on the

Dialysis equipment for life support. Accepting that he would not be returning home, Decent proceeded to build a life in the UK.

Recognising that his qualifications received at home were inadequate, he upgraded his qualifications with a BA degree specialising in

D

Kidney Patients being helped by Decent

English and History for Secondary Education, at the Middlesex University; something Decent thought that he would not have been able to

achieve in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

With his passion for teaching and his degree in secondary education, Decent was now able to acquire a job teaching English in the UK

“State System” and also in the private sector. Until recently, Decent was employed as a Head teacher at a Private School for 4 years.

Since coming to England he has always ran a supplementary school, to the present, to assist persons from Afro -Caribbean background,

who were less fortunate, in boosting their chances of prospering in the “State School System”. Decent, posing a broad smile, described his

school as the “Decent School of learning”. This he explains that, after being dubbed by his clients as “Decent school”, he officially named

his supplementary school, “Decent School of Learning”. He also added that he is currently trying to set up a Consortium of all the

supplementary Schools.

Decent the Humanitarian

Since coming to England, Decent has made it his foremost

intention to give back to St Vincent and the Grenadines, in

whatever way deemed possible. To this end, he has donated

charitable items to various Schools namely, the Dickson,

Georgetown and Grammar Schools in St Vincent and the

Grenadines. He has also donated medical supplies such as

bandages, needles, live water, BP machines and scales to the

Georgetown and Kingstown hospitals in St. Vincent and the

Grenadines.

Decent has also been very passionate about helping patients

with Kidney failure, in St Vincent and the Grenadines, and makes

it his main aim, as often as he travels home, to assist in treating

kidney patients. Dear to his heart is his deep desire to see

Dialysis equipment available for use by Vincentians with Kidney

failure. He explained that it is the reason he wholeheartedly supports the government’s intention to construct a Diagnostic centre in St.

Vincent and the Grenadines. Decent has vowed that he would do whatever he can to assist this project of the Government.

In his efforts to assist persons with Kidney failure, Decent has set up a Kidney Patient Association, soon to be called SVG Kidney Foundation.

Decent the Entertainer:

In spite of his ordeal as a kidney patient, Decent is, at his very

best, an entertainer who delivers superbly clean jokes. Everyone

or anyone who knows Decent may know him as a Stand-up

Comedian. After all, he has made many laugh, cry, or do both

at the same at time. What most persons may not know is that

Decent attracted an audience from the age of 14-15 years old.

Decent recalls that the villagers in Georgetown would stand

around to listen to what he had to say, particularly if there was

cricket on TV. He kept the audience always wanting more.

Decent also recalled acting the part of Julia Caesar, on air,

whilst at the St Vincent and the Grenadines Boys Grammar

School. He expressed that, as a youngster, he had a real love

for drama and stage performances. This would have led him to

organise events such as calypso and queen shows in the Georgetown area; and over the years, performed as the Master of Ceremony for

Left to right: H.E. Cenio Lewis, Carol Browne, Judy Boucher, Dudrey Browne

talent shows, Queen shows and Weddings in particular. To this day, Decent has entertained huge audiences and continues to do so

whenever the opportunity arises.

Despite his chronic illness, Decent loves living and remains vibrant, humorous, and energetic, something for which many persons have

expressed their huge admiration.

All things considered, Decent remains a God fearing person who recognizes that his strength comes from God and believes that without

God he would not be alive today. His motto in life is that “we should always extend a helping hand to those less fortunate than ourselves,

it doesn’t matter whether in the field of education or anything else”.

Another fantastic “Members, Family and Friends Party” in Reading

n Saturday 27 February 2010, the St Vincent and the

Grenadines Association (SVGA) in Reading UK hosted

their ever popular annual “Members, Family Friends

Party” at the MAPP Centre, in celebration of their togetherness

and, as an extension, to raise funds in support of the Haiti

Earthquake Disaster victims and the children from families in need

in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

A Children’s Party was held in the afternoon to give younger

generation of Vincentians an opportunity to participate in active

ties designed to help them identify with St Vincent & The

Grenadines, a need that is acknowledged by Miss Marcella John,

the organiser of the event.

The event was brought to order by Dudrey Browne, Vice Chair of

the SVG Reading Association, and MC for the evening. Mr

Browne extended warm welcome on behalf of Mrs. Gloria Jack -

Chair of SVGA Reading, to specially invited guests for the evening,

H.E. Cenio E Lewis - High Commissioner for St Vincent and the

Grenadines, and his wife Mrs. Ita Lewis; Mr Bernie Pompey - Deputy

Commissioner of Police for St Vincent and the Grenadines, and

other distinguished guests and friends, including the well-loved

singer Judy Boucher who led the singing of the National Anthem.

In his introduction, Mr Browne acknowledged that it was a

privilege and an honour for Ms Gloria Jack to be hosting the event

once again. Much credit was given to all the members who

worked visibly hard throughout the years to keep the Association

in such prominence.

H.E. Cenio E Lewis, in his very encouraging speech, echoed praise

for the vibrant Reading Association and offered encouragement

and support to members. In his speech, High Commissioner Lewis

spoke about the constant progress of St. Vincent and the

Grenadines and made reference to the Argyle International

Airport, the education revolution, support for children and housing

programme.

As is traditional, this year’s recipient of the award for contribution

to the betterment of Vincentians in Reading, and the community

as a whole, was Mr Kemuel Spence, a Saxophonist. Since arriving

O



Mr. George Toney

in the UK, Kemuel has been delighting fellow Vincentians with his

tantalising musical ability at the Annual Thanksgiving Service. The

award, a miniature saxophone, was presented by Ms. Gloria Jack

and Mr Dudrey Browne on behalf of St Vincent and the

Grenadines Association of Reading.

The ecstatic audience expressed their satisfaction for a

wonderfully “finger-licking” dinner, tastefully prepared by the

members’ catering team, before revving up to “whine down” the

house with some heavy soca and reggae rhythms. The Raffle with

its usual mixture of anticipation and hilarity was very well

supported. Gloria Jack was more than delighted to be the host

and declared the evening a resounding success. Gloria would like

to extend sincere thanks to all members, guests, family and friends

for their support in making the evening so special.

Making a difference on St Vincent and the Grenadines Airport development On Saturday 1st May 2010, a dance was

held at the Hill Top Community Centre in

High Wycombe UK, as a fund raising effort

to support the building of the Argyle

International Airport in St Vincent and the

Grenadines (SVG). Mr George Tony,

known to his friends as Sonny, was the

innovator and driving force behind the

idea

Sonny was born in Georgetown on the

island of St. Vincent. He migrated to the

UK in 1961, and travels back as often as

he can to the land he calls home, where

he “feels the right vibes and comfort

amongst all those he love”.

Christmas holiday is, for him, the best time

to visit. This, he says, is when he can “enjoy

the music, a few rum punches” and as he

puts it “when the festive mood is excellent

and fellow Vincentians are at their best

when it comes to hospitality and

friendliness. Nothing should interfere with

the harmony”. He also said that his

favourite food is salt-fish and roast

breadfruit.

Mr. Toney explains the reason why he is so

passionate about St Vincent and the

Grenadines having its own Airport. He

describes the process of having to go

through Barbados for a connecting flight

to SVG, as a nightmare that is

experienced by virtually all Vincentians.

He vowed that if supporting the building

of the Argyle Airport is the way to avoid

such misery and stress, he will be the first

to donate his dollar, hence his drive to

raise funds in aiding nation building and

the development of St Vincent and the

Grenadines.

Being very passionate and patriotic,

Sonny insisted that the Argyle International

Airport will bring great benefits to his

homeland in the event of a natural

disaster, as well as facilitating the

exportation of items such as fresh

produce, and contributing to the overall

development of the St. Vincent and the

Grenadines tourism economy. The biggest

benefit of all, he said, will be the day

when he and his family and friends “take

an international flight and fly direct to St

Vincent and the Grenadines. Oh what a

glorious day that will be!”

Acknowledging the local support, Sonny

further explained that his effort is a wider

call for fellow Vincentians to “support that

which will benefit of us all”. He stated that

all money raised will be forwarded to the

Argyle International Airport Contributory

Fund, via an official channel. The money

will be a donation from the people, family

and friends in High Wycombe UK. ***

ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES A string of tiny pearls in a warm azure sea, St Vincent and the Grenadin-es will bring out the nature lover in you.

You never forget your first sight of a turtle — a real-life turtle — lazily breast stroking along in the water below you. I almost swallowed my snorkel.

“TURTLE!” I screamed to my travelling companions aboard our rented yacht, spitting out seawater and failing desperately to get them to look. By the time they did, the turtle had sensibly sped away from this ungainly land creature disturbing both the turquoise-blue waters of the Grenadines and the late-afternoon peace.

If you’ve ever imagined a dreamy desert island, the 30-odd pinpricks of land that sweep like the tail of a comma from St Vincent’s round bulk would certainly fit the bill. Lush and tropical, dripping with leafy green vegetation that gives welcome shade from the midday sun and softens the brilliance of the white sand beaches, the Grenadines have something for everyone.

Travelling with the family? Vincentians are very child-friendly and so too are the small-island beaches which slope gently into warm, shallow waters, perfect for learner swimmers. Older children will adore snorkeling, especially at the Tobago Cays, a national marine park. At Horseshoe Reef, turtles nest on the beaches and swim freely in the lagoons.

The Grenadines are a meeting point for the Atlantic and the Caribbean, which means a rich diversity of marine life, from rays and turtles in deeper water to the brilliantly coloured fish and delicate sea horses of the lagoons.

Sailing is the perfect way to island-hop. A day’s yacht hire can find you swimming in a secluded cove on one island, lunching in a bustling harbourside restaurant on a second and sipping a cooling Hairoun beer as the boat breezes towards yet another.

There’s plenty to do ashore on the larger island of St Vincent, too. Marked trails wind through the dense forests, from short local routes to villages or markets for casual strolls, right up to organised hikes such as the Vermont Nature Trail on the island’s leeward coast, where you may spot the local parrot.

The more adventurous can hike the three-mile trail to the summit of La Soufrière volcano, then descend into the crater for a mineral mud bath.

Summer brings Vincy Mas Carnival, which takes place at the end of June/beginning of July, with steel bands, calypso, costumed dancers and plenty of Sunset rum. It coincides with the opening of the new five-star Buccament Bay Beach Resort, which promises a vast array of facilities including the Pat Cash Tennis Academy, Liverpool FC Soccer School and a diving and watersports centre. Guests can unwind at The Alaia Spa and dine at Trader Vic’s.

The resort will be15 minutes from the new Argyle International Airport, due to open in 2012. Until then it’s only a short hop from the Caribbean gateways of Barbados, Antigua and Saint Lucia. *** Written by Lucy Smith
