affected. Urgent IT equipment is needed including laptops and computers.
Roof and window damage resulting in damage to books, a temporary
library has been set up for the pupils.
The pupil toilet has lost the roof and the staff area has water

Fresh vegetables are coming in from St. Vincent and the need for
organic home grown food is vital.

Poem below by Neeland Rennie, thank you for allowing us to share this
with the world.
The children of Carriacou need your help, hundreds of children from
Grenada will be joining these classrooms. Help us help them.
Love the children and
Treat them fine,
For they are like love vines, Always climbing the trees.
To be where the wind blows free,
With smiles of sunshine and
Laughter pure as honey.
They’ll always be tomorrows symphony.
They are the seeds we plant and mold,
To guide us where the bloomer flowers be,
Their joy can run higher than mountain peaks; like
Eagles their dreams are given wings,
To soar the heavens; both
Day and night, their desires run free.
To whatever life’s fantasies might be.
Strengthen them and
they will lift you up
For all to see.
Teach them the bridges of unity and
They’ll bring you a nation of peace
And prosperity!
This is a lifetime guarantee that
Children have inexplicable ability,
To guide us when our time is be!
