i am a young person studying abroad, but for and foremost, i am a proud vincentian citizen, and i wouldn’t feel right if i didn’t put my two cents out on the table. i have being around for like 24 years now and i think i am more than aware of what has being going on in st.vincent and the grenadines. i love my country a lot and i want to see the country go forward and i want to be a part of that movement.

i must commend the prime minister Dr. gonsalves for the great job he and those who are behind him are doing. he shows a type of characteristic and personality that has being lacking in st. vincent for a long time, one of vision, dreams and a desire to make things better.
the way i see it a lot of vincentians are afraid of dreaming and making the sacrifices necessary to go forward, instead whenever someone comes forward with ideas we are quick to dismiss it because ” we are ah small country we can’t deal with that”. i myself am fed up of this mentality, what ever happen to the days when you use to have dreams not only for ourselves and our children.

i can tell you something size never stop anyone before, look at japan for example, they are not the biggest country in the world , but because of visions, determination and perseverance they are one of the leading countries in the world. unless we open the door and take a step forward we are never gonna know what’s outside the door. my mother always tell me ” furoque dream and aim for the sun and even if you miss you will still have the stars”.

it’s time we as a country start back to dream, because with dreams come visions and vision bring ideas and ideas lead to development, let us stop be scared of change for once and see how much we can be part of that change and help it to be ah more positive one.
the international airport, is by far the largest project the country have undertaken, and they have being others that the prime minister and his colleges have done also which took a lot of balls to do. but you know what, no one else was man euongh to do it, so i will continue to give him credit for it.

it’s time we as vincentians get out the mode of seeing every thing as being constant and finish but instead of them always having room for improvement. so people say we don’t need an international airport because a lot of island around us have. but the thing is ” they have we don’t”. and for those of you who still hang up on that notion, let me give you an example, if all your neighbors have tap water would you forever be begging them for water or will you get your own? we all know liat is the only airline that fly to st.vincent, and we all know liat tract record and our country has to constantly bail liat out, not the other countries that have the international airports but us, taxpayers money, because if tomorrow liat collapse they can continue business as usual, we on the other hand might have to go back to boats to get out of st. vincent..

with all that said i would just like to tell vincentians, lets start back to dream, let us look and aim for greater things instead of being so constant and stagnant.let use be ah nation of pioneers, we have a young nation with a lot of potential. let us start tapping into that resevoir and make a better nation for us and our children.

Dr. gonsalves, you are doing a wonderful job, i only wish there was 99 more like you so we can venture more into the 21st century with a more positive and futuristic outlook. so of you may say i don’t know what i am saying, i am studying medicine, i am about 3 months from graduating from my program with an MD, my mom is a single parent and a teacher, and i have 2 other siblings, a sister who is current doing her masters in economic and a brother who will be start uwi in august pursuing a degree in finance. looking back, it seems impossible what my mom did, but god has being good to us and he gave her a vision, she never accepted things the way they were and always told us aim for greater and better things. education is a way out and Dr. gonsalves know that, even if you are not employed in st.Vincent, we will find it much easier to get a job anywhere in the world with some education rather than none. i love my country, and i’ll be back to serve my people and country………………………………………………………………………………….

Mr. Gonsalves, if you are given the opportunity to see this project through it will definately raise Vincentians above and beyond and certainly St. Vincent will be recognized on the map. Investors will flood SVG for investments, Carnival will be huge and places of interest will be developed to attract tourists through the airport.

Mr. Gonsalves the second phase of the project has began but inorder for me to enjoy the vision with you, I need to know when Mr. Matthias is going to release a date when the landowners of the second phase will be paid. Don’t you think payment should have been made before the second phase began? Please help me here because the landowners are ignored and cannot share the dream or the vision. Should we continue in a coma state waiting for payment?

St Vincent desperately needs an airport that is up to a standard world travellers expect.

Although I have been back to St Vincent a few times since leaving in 1971, on a number of occasions I was in Grenada but did no visit St Vincent because of it’s ancient airport facilities.

During my younger years in St Vincent, it appeared to me that all important decisions are mired in politics, this airport project suffers from the same mindset.

Until Vincentians get their heads together and think of the grater good of the country, nothing will be accomplished!

Don’t expect help from anywhere unless you are prepared to help yourself!

Why is God’s heavens an International Airport now when the Arnos Vale Airport was not maintained properly. What make us think that this “NEW” International Airport would be maintained and be profitable?

The government is constantly saying that they do not have money to pay landowners for the land which they are acquiring, then how are they going to have such a project financially maintained? Do you think you will always be receiving donations?

Mr. Gonsalves PLEASE PAY THE OVERSEAS LANDOWNERS, we are waiting for a long time now and we have children who would like to use the money to further their education and live a better life rather than waiting on a time that we may never know. You have children as well and I am sure you will not like anyone in power to treat you or your children they way you are treating us. Please be your brother’s keeper.

Pigs will fly first….
