WEST END, Tortola, VI - Boxing Day in the First District saw many smiling faces who were full of excitement and joy as a group of selfless businessmen and individuals came together to make their day extra special and bring together the community for a day of clean fun and togetherness.

The group that is fondly called TEMPO, distributed 30 bikes to children present along with a bag with educational tools for the upcoming school term to all youth in attendance at Jerry's Car Rental in West End, Tortola on December 26, 2016.

In addition, the top male honour roll student was presented with a pocket bike.

First District Representative, Hon. Andrew A. Fahie who was present at the event and gave words of encouragement to the large gathering of primarily youth, congratulated the businesses and individuals for their profound initiative of giving back to the community.

“They set a good tempo by encouraging the youths of the area to be positive, focus on their education and do their best at all times,” Hon. Fahie stated, “This initiative, once again, proved that together, as a community and as a people, we will always achieve more. This is true community spirit.”

He also took the opportunity to wish everyone a God-filled holiday season and a prosperous 2017.

The gift distribution was not all, TEMPO also provided food and music and the community had the opportunity to mix and mingle for the holiday as one.

Many individuals make up TEMPO with the three main businesses being Jerry's Car & Jeep Rental, Kelly's Tire Shop & Transportation Services and Tattoo's Trucking, Heavy Equipment and Water Delivery Services.

    I hope every community can be like the first district community. I wasn't a Fahie fan but I have grown to respect the man. He believes in his people.

    These are the kind of activities that should be seen, and not to sit to wait for government to do all. I do believe if Hon. Fahie can get this kind of involvement he will surely get everything done for the people of the VI.

      I tired of ayo trying to paint Fahie with your piddle about trust issue. Only a few sore haters trying to talk that. We trust him more than 90% of who now elected.

          Nobody can speak to the whole country so stop lie. We trust Fahie. Go tell Mark to bring back the Pier money. Go tell Ronnie go bring back our millions from them no good over priced chinese road paving equipment & steel. Go tell Orlando account for the $2Billion. Go tell Myron bring back everything because his list too long to mention. When you start with these who we really can't trust then come let's talk.

    This was the way of the VIP party the way Lavity Stoutt left it for the people kind to others a party for everyone. Fahie looks like he is a trained VIP not bad after all. VIP had vision and leadership from day one never heard Lavity being called a sleepy leader. This is the best community spirit by far. God bless those businesses and Hon Fahie. It takes a village to raise a child and Hon Fahie has grown. He's here.

    this is a great initiative to support education and district support. congratulations.
    But I am wondering why a boy is singled out for a high honor and not a boy and a girl?
    Girls need support and recognition too. We need more in government to keep it sane.
