There helping again, last week Adam Barrett of Stanhope Shepherd fed 80 children a day at there five week summer camp, all this has been done with a good heart at a time when the Barbudan economy is on its knees....well done and Thank You Adam Barrett.

Great news for the child.
But wait! What does this have to do with that real estate scheme?
Lets see: US$20,000.00 now. US$3.4 B (Billion) in real estate value to speculate with for the next 200 years!
Quote JHR guy: "know where you are going, know how to get there, and then get there in the quickest possible time".

Get It!!

There are two stories mixed up here - Shawana Beazer being helped by a very successful fund raising exercise, and Stanhope Shepherd's proposed development in Barbuda.

The first story is really great news, and reflects very well on Adam and Derek Barrett in organising the fund raising so successfully.

However, as verna says above, a good news story about a successful fund raising excercise and Shawana's good fortune almost appears to have been hijacked as a PR exercise for Stanhope Shepherd.

Everyone wishes Shawana all the best for her medical treatment, and are grateful to the Barretts for organising this so successfully - but that should have no bearing whatever on whether it is appropriate that their proposed development in the name of Stanhope Shepherd Ltd receives the go ahead.

Great PR for a company trying to develop one of the most controversial developments Barbuda has seen.
Great for the little girl too.

JOHNNY.....TO BAD.... PLEASE JUST SAY THANKS TO MR BARRETT

@Johnny the story is just fine just read the article for what it is and stop trying to force people to divulge information that does not concern you or me.

This was reported a couple of weeks ago but here's the information.

Shawana is 5 and has Cerebral Palsy, this was a condition from birth as she was the product of a 34 week pregnancy , concluded by a spontaneous vertex delivery complicated bt third stage hypoxia with consequent cerebral palsy.

Shawana has spastic diplegia with a popliteal angle of 20 per cent bilaterally and a 35 per cent equine us of both ankles meaning that she has never walked

I hope this is enough information for you?

This is a human story, it confirms the struggle that families have in this region dealing with medical problems, it's not about the detail and more about what can be done

I am so happy for this child and thank Mr. Barrett for leading the way and getting this done in 3 weeks. I heard the mother being interviewed on 104.3 Nice FM and she said she has walked the length and breadth of Antigua and Barbuda for 5 long years and could get no help. Dennis Seon and Nice Fm did an outstanding job and must be complimented. It seems that almost all day for a few weeks, we kept hearing about this appeal. God will bless you.

Is this story about the little girl or just about Barrett? This tory has little mention about the child, what is her illness? This seem like one of those "praise the giver" stories.

What is Shawana's last name? What illness does she have? This is not a very well written article. A good journalist answers "Who, what, where, when, why"
