Thursday, 27 May 2010 |
The National Democratic Congress would like to reiterate its publicly stated vision for creating a “nation that is free, a land of equal opportunity, and a land of tolerance, fair play and prosperity.’’
This is a promise our Party made in its 2008 election manifesto and we are delivering on it as a government through initiatives such as the Free School Books’ programme, housing, expansion of the Public Assistance Programme, an increase in the numbers of Grenadians who have been awarded university scholarships, and the democratisation of public institutions, including the Government Information Service (GIS). |

Thursday, 27 May 2010 |
BANJUL (May 25, 2010) - Africa's airline systems were branded "colonial and cold war remnants" stunting the continent's progress by a development specialist who called on African governments to urge international donors to actively support Africa's airline industry.
Speaking to the African Travel Association Congress, which drew ministers and some 300 delegates to the capital of The Gambia, Lelei LeLaulu, co-chairman of Innovation for Sustainable Development Centre, said the current airline route systems "were designed by former colonial powers to fly Africa's riches and ex-patriots to their colonial capitals - and were further exacerbated by the East-West divisions of the Cold War." |

Milestone Development Women's Empowerment Symposium |
|
Thursday, 27 May 2010 |
On Saturday June 5, 2010 Milestone Development in collaboration with LIME will present a Women’s Empowerment Symposium at Sandals Grande Hotel from 9am – 5pm.
This symposium is the first of its kind in St. Lucia and is important for our Caribbean women. Many of our women face the same daily struggles and have no outlet or place to turn for assistance, advice, direction and guidance. We lack effective support systems for our women and therefore many internalize their issues or ignore it. This symposium serves as a day of inspiration, enlightenment, knowledge and bonding for women, a day of valuable information that will inspire and motivate women to develop the potential within themselves. |
