Nice to see a family getting a fresh start. Blessings all around.
Big up to whoever helped make this happen.
I have been waiting for assistance with my home.. SMH
Hope this is the start of more homes being delivered to those in need.
Great move!
Happy for the family, but is it just election season generosity?
The headline say “NEW HOME”.
THE MEAT OF THE STORY SAY “REFURBUSHED”.
Which is it?
The campaign is on.
Cutie is making the rounds.
He is feeling the Franz pressure.
Is HAPPI a government institution of Raguette’s charity?
What was the government’s contribution towards the refurbishing of the house?
What was Raguette’s Charity contribution?
I am going to call Franz to investigate that alliance!!!!!!!
Elections is in the air.
Cutie is campaigning harder than ever.
Is HAPPI a government institution or a private charity?
What’s the name of Raguette’s charity?
The HAPPI programme is really making some people happy.
A prisoner ingregnated a villager 9 years after he had been in prison.
Prison officers had a bigger fall out as a result of investigations into HAPPI.
HAPPI is not a department of the police force.
Police Officer maximizing benefits and getting promotion while he diesnt know how a uniform feels.
Is Social Transformation waiting for people to become homeless before they come to their assistance?
Do thay have to support labour party and show up in red shirts like the grass cutters on the roadside to get any assistance?
The family thanked Cutie for being a tower of strength.
However his strength showered up only when they were destitute.
Where was he before their situation became so dire?
I an happy that Cutie is looking about at the “well-fair” of his constituents.
What the hell are those guys eating in Antigua?
Can the govt tell us who is determined as less fortunate to qualify for the assistance from the HAPPI program?
Do you have to strong comrade?
They thanked not so Cutie.Those Politicians used the taxpayers money as if it is their own.
Tax payer money while everyone else marga
