  2. Yes another generous contribution to the people of Antigua and Barbuda from a foreigner who has made Antigua his home. Yes many like to bash this man for being a foreigner in this land having several business ventures. I wish one day our own people who have done well and are financially well off will do similar things.

  3. DEAD DARG PICK-UP-CORN PRINGLE can foot his own university bill, but remedial courses first!!!

  4. Another great educational opportunity for 200 students over 2 years. What a wonderful and welcoming gesture by Mr Calvin Ayre.

    • Thanks to the vision of our great leader, Gaston Alphonso Browne, more of our youth will be able to stay right here at home and receive tertiary education.
