Three week trip after a wake of disasters
Twelve young people, and their teachers, from a small Caribbean nation are on the Island for a three-week programme of events and lectures.
It's been arranged by the Isle of Man St Vincent and the Grenadines Education Programme - a new charity set up to provide scholarships and travel grants to students in the wake of a series of disasters which ravaged the country.
They include Covid, Dengue Fever, a hurricane and a devastating volcano in April last year – all of which have had an impact on education.
Tim Cullen MBE, from Derbyhaven, is a trustee in the charity which was set up by a small group of volunteers in both Island nations:
Manx Care mandate the 'largest assault on NHS care the Island has ever seen'
Failed natural gas plans are 'six years of wasted energy' says chief minister
MHK calls for reversal of decision to end face-to-face Parentcraft sessions
