St. Lucia, Dominica and St. Vincent: are still in recovery mode and rebuilding mode, after the heavy rains they experienced , during the Christmas period. we remind our brothers and sisters , to continue to assist , our brothers and sisters in these Caribbean Nation islands. We are certain that children returning to school after the Christmas holidays would still need school supplies and other assistance



                                 Haiti: It has been four years , since the devastating earthquake that claimed over 250,000 lives and left damages of $USD 14 billion. Haiti is now preparing to have elections in 2014.
We continue to be inspired by the resilience of the great Haitian people.



                                Trinidad and Tobago: Crime continues to be the major headache for the government. Witnesses to murders and other serious crimes are being themselves murdered, so that they cannot testify.




                                  St.Kitts: Statistics show this small Caribbean Nation island has the highest  crime rate regarding the number of murders in proportion to its population.


     

                                 Guyana : Continues to develop its mineral industries. Guyana is now a major world producer of gold. Once it cleans up its political act, Guyana has all the resources to be a great benefactor for the New Caribbean Nation.

Education Reform

-
One Caribbean Nation. It is extremely difficult to believe that we are incapable of solving current challenges relating to crime and other acts of social deviancy.

While delivering the keynote address at Speech Day of St Leonard's Boys' Secondary School where he was once principal, Adams criticised the island's education system, declaring that it was failing the people and urgently needed reform.
