St
Vincent & the Grenadines official Government Office of Tourism site -
very much improved and up to date if you have not looked at it for a while |
|
| Official Site of the Government of St Vincent & the Grenadines | This

Patsy
Douglas Youth Empowerment Foundation. helps students in St
Vincent and Maryland. The Foundation was set up in tribute to the late
Sister Patrica Douglas who died in May 2005 in a car accident. Sister
Pat was the Principal of St Joseph Convent Marriaqua Secondary School.
In 1991, she was the first principal in St. Vincent and the Grenadines
to give teenage mothers a chance to obtain an education. A pregnant high
school teen in the Caribbean is forbidden to attend high school during
or after pregnancy.
PLEASE DONATE OR JUST VISIT THE WEB SITE AND READ MORE ABOUT THE WORK OF SISTER PAT AND HER LEGACY. Click on Sister Pat to donate |
| Bill Tewes - Dive St Vincent | If
you love underwater critters, Bill's award winning and long running dive
shop can show you round the critter capital of the Caribbean. |
| Russ Filman's site | Russ
is very dedicated in his pursuit of web links. He is a Bequia resident
in winter - lucky him! |
| Hans Baer's site | A quirky
little site with his descriptions of various trips in St Vincent. Also
a very interesting account about Caribs (the first Vincentians) written
before the island was taken over by slave masters. |
| Scuba Mom | Scuba
Mom rocks. I've never met her but she goes to St Vincent every year and
that make her OK by me. |
| Karl Eklund's site | If
you thought Hans' site quirky - then check out Karl's. Not only has affection
filled prose for all that is SVG but links to his articles on racism,
global corporatism and his own personal vision for the world. Big up the
Eklund. He also has an explanation of Rastafari - bless you for trying
Karl. |
| Tony Mitchell's site | Another
personal site set up by a Bequian living in Canada - worth a look at. |
| Tony's Oldies | Fascinating
photos of St Vincent from 1890s onwards |
| St Vincent and the Grenadines Geneology Research | A resource
for information related to the history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines
for those interested in genealogical research. Good work from Cheryl Hazell
now living in Canada. |
| Guardian article | Nice
but dated article by Hank Wangford who is a cool dude for a gynecologist
who likes country music. |
| Article on Caribs/Arawaks | This
is a fascinating article by Kim Johnson from www.raceandhistory.com (a
Trinidad based site). |
| www.trinicenter.com | This
site is based in Trinidad & Tobago so not strictly relevant to a Vincy
site. It always has some great articles. Check out the links to Rasta
Times and Roots Woman which are part of the same organisation. |
| Caribbean Banana Exporters Association | Up
to date news on the plight of our banana growers and the industry. Please
support our farmers by buying Windward Isle bananas and asking your supermarket
to stock them. Let our farmers know not to give up and you want their
products. The decline in production means the Windward Isles does not
have full shipments and we rely on growers in the Domincan Republic to
take up the spare capacity. A natural disaster in Dominican Republic would
wipe us out completely as shipping would be uneconomic. |
| Banana Link | The
web site of the British campaigning organisation which in their words
aims to alleviate poverty and prevent further environmental degradation
in banana exporting communites and to work towards a sustainable banana
economy. |
| Essay by Anesa Hosein | This
young lady's dissertation on the Caribs of St Vincent gives a good account.
Chatoyer is the National Hero of St Vincent. This black Carib (or Garifuna)
fought off the slave masters for many years before succumbing to their
evil. |
| International Women's Rights Action Watch | Despite
the myth of strong women heading up female dominated households, this
group documents the reality for many women in St Vincent. Let's change
things. |

Barnard also has properties in Bequia |

Providence has a nice selection on the books. He often gets bank foreclosures
