On my girl child's 15th B-earthday and Martin Luther King Jr. 95th Heavenly day, I ask why our children access to an education have to be so stressful and tinged with so many level of unnecessary suffering?
What legacy are we leaving for our children? 
That some people lives do not matter? 
Only some has access to the available resources?
That $26 million spent on North East road in 2022 and Zero on South East Roads?
With less than $2 million that cannot be spent to install a vital bridge to reconnect the South East from Hurricane Erika money that was received 9 years ago? Unbelievable right?
Are you going to show up and do what is right for our children? Or wait for something devastating to happen and then come out with Alas I did not know. Sorry!!
Did you know that the  communities from Grand Fond to Delices was completely shut off from the rest of the island for a whole week in November 2022 due to massive slides in the Morne Aux Delices area, our ONLY access out to education, medical, work, food, etc? And the same day the Sari Sari bridge collapse, during independence 2023 celebrations, there was another slide in the area. This is not a case of If but When it's going to collapse again as constantly it's being undermined by a River and sliding at the top.
Now you know!!
