(Health Minister meets with Shaveesa Gasper)<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Shaveesa Gasper, who the Cabinet recently gifted with a full scholarship to the Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts in Jamaica paid a visit to Health Minister, the Honourable Molwyn Joseph earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Ms. Gasper\u2019s visit was to express her appreciation to the Minister and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda for the assistance given to her over the years.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Minister Joseph was instrumental in having Ms. Gasper flown first to Guadeloupe and then to Paris, France, to undergo special treatment for severe burns she received after an incident in 2016.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Government covered Ms. Gasper\u2019s medical expenses at that time and has once again come to her aid, this time, in the form of a scholarship, with which she will be pursuing a degree in Visual and Performing Arts.<\/p>\n

According to Ms. Gasper, theatre arts has assisted her greatly with regards to coping and expressing her inner emotions because she is able to channel the feelings she was hiding in a positive way.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Minister Joseph congratulated Ms. Gasper on entering a new phase in her life while noting that God has a special purpose for her. He indicated that although she has been through one of the greatest human tragedies imaginable, she has risen above it all.<\/p>\n

He commended Ms. Gasper on her ability to overcome the obstacles that may have been stumbling blocks in her way and indicated that her adversity will only strengthen and prepare her for greater things.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Minister Joseph wished her well on her journey as she makes this bold step in pursuing her dreams in Performing Arts.<\/p>
