After much inquiry by the general public, the Anguilla Tennis Academy will begin its adult programmes starting next week on Monday, September 15. Although the ATA specializes in the teaching of children, it recognizes that in order for it to be truly a community effort, the adults and parents must also take part.

The Anguilla Beautification Club, affectionately known as ‘ABC ‘across the island, began its life in 1992, the brainchild of a group of keen gardeners headed by Mrs. Lidia Shave, wife of the Governor of the time and including the late Lidia Gumbs, Peter Billington, Jeremy Brown, Avon Carty, Brenda Carty, Everette Clarke, the late Myrtle Connor, the late Rudolph Gumbs, Kenneth Harrigan, Kerry Knotts, Iris Lewis, Leslie Richardson, Muriel Schleifer, Debra Thomas and Eudoxie Wallace. They formed the ABC with the specific aim, still current today, to enhance the island by planting trees and shrubs. Their work is evident all over Anguilla.

One of the most innovative and necessary educational initiatives in Anguilla has seen 10 full years of success through the many children who have benefitted. Reading Recovery celebrates ten years in operation this year and in order to appreciate how monumental this programme is, a large and glorious celebration was held this past Monday, September 8. Dignitaries, educators and invitees gathered at the Teacher’s Resource Centre Auditorium to join together in jubilance in order to reflect on the huge impact Reading Recovery has had in Anguilla. The entire celebratory programme shined with facts, statistics and children who all proved that this programme shows results and gives children the tools necessary to make it in the school system.

As readers will see in this week’s edition of The Anguillian, Reading Recovery celebrates ten years of success in Anguilla. When the celebratory event was announced, I promptly let Nat Hodge know that I would be happy to cover it. From the beginning of the ceremony until the end, the crowd and I were all awe-struck from the proceedings. Reading Recovery in Anguilla is obviously a strong programme that is working and paying dividends to many children who desperately need the extra attention. To say it bluntly, and without hesitation, teachers are the best people on the planet! They make the world go around. Behind every success, every person, every professional, there was a teacher who gave him or her the confidence and tools to make it. Moreover, can you actually imagine how it would feel in today’s world not knowing how to read? It would be tough to make it.

An important meeting took place in Trinidad and Tobago this week. It was a gathering, in Port of Spain, of Permanent Secretaries and high level officials from the Caribbean and Chile to analyse social protection strategies in the Caribbean. The meeting was convened to consider the results of “Network-Based Capacity Building on Social Protection Strategies in the Caribbean” to see how lessons learned from the Chilean Puente Programme could be transferred to Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and St. Lucia. While Anguilla may not have the comprehensive institutional arrangements for social development that can be found in Jamaica and T & T, the fact of St. Lucia’s involvement is important as I believe that Chile Puente can be brought home to the member countries of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). In his budget address on April 21, 2008, the Honourable Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Stephenson King, was optimistic that St. Lucia’s adaptation of the programme would improve the delivery of social protection services to indigent families in St. Lucia. The political commitment was endorsed in the budget. Anguilla may not have been able to benefit directly from the support given by the Organization of American States (OAS), the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Government of Chile, and I am not sure if Anguilla found a way to be represented. However, the Caribbean social development scenario has so many factors in common that we too can benefit from the planned extension of the programme to other Caribbean nations. The wider goal of the programme is to bridge the cultural gap between the Caribbean and South America, in particular Chile, and once again, whether you like it or not, Rastafari leads the way.
