    Cap! What are their contributions? Why them and not others whom have given back through teaching, nursing etc. Don’t see what they’ve done civically
    to uplift the VI…

      @CBP, where were you when these ladies and their familes were and still are contributing to the BVI their home. I recommend do your history research. I am proud of them as a born and schooled Bristish Virgin Islander. Shine on Ladies and be bless.

      Leave it alone brother.

      In the BVI we are not supposed to question anything. We cannot ask why or what when it comes to decisions, salaries, appointments, accountability, behaviour, nothing. We are expected to take what they tell us and give us without question.
