\u00a0 <\/strong>The Antigua & Barbuda National Sports Awards, held under the auspices of the\u00a0 Ministry of Education, Sport and Creative Industries, which was scheduled for today,\u00a0 Saturday, 15th March 2025, at 6:00 PM, has been postponed to Saturday, 22nd\u00a0 March 2025 <\/strong>after consultation with the Sporting Associations. We join the nation in\u00a0 mourning the painful loss of 9-year-old Chantel Crump.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

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

Minister Hon. Daryll S. Matthew, Minister of Education, Sport and Creative Industries  and a father, expressed his deep sorrow: “This is a dark day in Antigua and Barbuda.  No child should ever endure such an unspeakable act of savagery, having their light of  innocence stolen from them. I said it yesterday and will continue to say: Let us all be our  brother\u2019s keeper, look out for one another, and ensure our children feel safe in their  communities. Today is not business as usual. Today, we have been thrust into a National  Day of Prayer and Mourning, coming together with families and communities to support  and hold each other.<\/em>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Chantel\u2019s parents, siblings, family, and friends, we extend our deepest condolences  as you navigate this tragic and devastating loss. <\/p>
