In Willikies, Antigua, the Sons & Daughters of Willikies presented a collection of books to the Nelvie N. Gore Primary School on behalf of the Willikies Educational Foundation.

The foundation, based in London, England, sponsored the books and plans to make additional donations to the school in the future.
Derrick Nicholas, President of the Sons & Daughters of Willikies, presented the books and encouraged the students to make good use of them to expand their knowledge about distant places, people, and cultures.
