The school twinning concept was conceived out of the humanitarian efforts in 2004 following hurricane Ivan's devastation of Grenada and the small island of Carriacou.

Following damage assessment of the schools in Carriacou it became obvious that there were challenges

Following meetings with representative of the Ministry of Education, Mrs. Gertrude Niles was present. (Click to read letter from Mrs Niles) Topics covered included the damages met by schools and how these might be addressed post haste so as to accommodate OVER 200 students from Grenada.

There was also the need to address the supply concerns and furniture and furnishing needs, as many of the schools double as Hurricane shelters and were in pretty sad shape before the storm.

A suggestion was made to look into twinning schools from Barbados and Trinidad and in fact globally with schools in Carriacou, this was met with enthusiasm and with that in mind we agreed to create web pages for each school with a view of building on these pages as supplies are shipped and the situation in the schools eased by the help of the women's NGO's of the Caribbean.
