The St. Kitts based community group that is now being called the most active, radical, creative, energetic and idea filled group in the twin island Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, The United Villages of West Farm, Boyds and Palmetto Point Community Group  HAS  DONE IT  AGAIN!

Rumours have it that Director Azilla Clarke of the Social and Community Services Department in The Federal Government of St. Kitts and Nevis  LEAPS  FOR  JOY each time she hears of the WONDERS the Trinity Team is doing.

Ms. Clarke was the key figure in ensuring that a 4 Month Long Capacity Strengthening Community Group Training Workshop sponsored by The Caribbean Development Bank, The Basic Needs Trust Fund and The Local Government, came to the Trinity Community and pre-ambled the launch of this radical group that turns ONE  YEAR  OLD  IN  OCTOBER, 2015.

It was through Ms. Clarke's instrumentality, that The United Villages of West Farm, Boyds and Palmetto Point Community Group got access to over $12,000 to get its first community project ideas off the ground

Tonight, Saturday, 20th June, 2015, Vice President and Director of Social Activities and Trinity Historian Mr. Bernell "IAN" Richards led yet another one of his well planned and overly exciting activities. The always on time VP got the event rolling on the stroke of 5:30 pm and didn't hold back.

He led the way in lighting the Community Bond Fire at Garvey's Bay in Trinity, which was one of the most popular bays around in years gone and a bay that Trinity Inn Owner Mr. Walters once held festive community activities such as GREASY  POLL and more.

As the fire caught itself, VP Richards conducted Youth Fishing Training and I am not ashamed to say, I personally looked on as I  have NEVER - EVER - EVER - EVER - EVER caught a fish in my life. I guess, NERDS  DON'T  FISH?

As a hobby fisherman and one of The Federation's Best Chefs with over 25 years experience as a well sort after caterer in St. Kitts and Nevis, Richards demonstrated how to connect bait to hooks and how to throw the line perfectly into the sea.

The youths LOVED  THE  FACT, that The United Villages of West Farm, Boyds and Palmetto Point Community Group, was not only continuing to provide love and support to them, but they were happy, by the smiles on their faces and the energy they displayed, that there was finally a NEW GROUP giving them the CRITICAL  SOCIAL  AND  LIFE  SKILLS  ATTENTION that so many youth locally, regionally and internationally lack today.

It was quite interesting though, because of extra rough waters, those who attempted to catch FISHES, only caught EELS.

VP Richards took the whopping gathering back some 50 - 80 years ago and roasted BREADFRUIT, CORN and EELS for those gathered, to sample and eat.

Was he trying to be JESUS and feed a multitude of people with EEL? Whoa!

Many took a little piece of what they could get to sample just to ensure that they go down in HISTORY.

Vice President Richards ensured that he pampered former Head Teacher of The Bronte Welsh Primary School, Mrs. Yvette Wallace, M.Ed with Roasted Breadfruit. Mrs. Wallace too, has seemingly caught THE  FRESH  TRINITY  FIRE  that continues to blow throughout the community and the nation, and decided to join tonight's event..

When we all thought that that would have been the night, Vice President Richards gathered the WHOPPING  CROWD  TOGETHER and told them of OLD  TIME  DAYS  LIFE  AND GROWING  UP with his Trinity Friends.

Richards, who was joined by other older Trinity Community Adults, intrigued the younger folks of "LONG  TIME  DAYS. They highlighted:

- days of catching the LOCKER  17  ENGINE to come home

- going to the 8 O'CLOCK CINEMA in Basseterre every Friday and Saturday and having to walk home because buses then, stopped running at 7 pm and there were no street lights as there are today, therefore causing them to FEAR  GREATLY

- The showing of THE  BURNING  HELL in the Old Gospel Hall and how the ENTIRE  COMMUNITY  BECAME  CHRISTIANS  OUT  OF  FEAR  after the visiting missionary showed the movie.

- The Lepers Home in Sandy Point and their days of going to sing and minister to the folks who resided there and we can go on and on.

When VP  RICHARDS started telling JUMBIE  STORIES, about a quarter of the WHOPPING  GATHERING packed their bags and left. NOBODY  WANTED  ANY  JUMBIES  TO  HOLD  THEM  IN  THE  PATH  WHEN  THEY  WERE GOING  HOME  TOO  LATE. lol

If I continue typing anymore about the AWESOME  TIME  EVERYONE had tonight, I'd get carried away and also get a couple global emails, whatsapp and calls about my articles BEING  TOO  LONG.

Therefore - PEACE  OUT!

Brother Khrystus LOVES  YOU!
