LITTLE HARBOUR, Jost van Dyke, VI - It was a touching moment last evening, Wednesday June 6, 2018, on Jost van Dyke (JvD) but not because the Leader of the Opposition and Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP), Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1), spent time with JvD’s favorite son—Mr Philiciano O. Callwood aka ‘Foxy.’
It was a special moment because he met, as requested by the children themselves, with members of Foxy’s Early Learning Entrepreneurs Center (ELEC) —located in a booth next to Foxy’s Bar, where they are taught entrepreneurial skills at a young and impressionable age.
Early business lessons
Hon Fahie engaged with the children for some time on their many items for sale—from cupcakes to home-made hand chains—and even patronised the booth with a purchase from the lads.
The ELEC programme, is aimed at fostering a new generation of JvD business persons.

Foxy’s Early Learning Entrepreneurs Center (ELEC), for example, is an ingenious concept and should be incorporated in every community in our country as well. The earlier our children learn these skills the better. This puts them at an advantage to understand how to build real economic wealth, which in turn, drives our economy on a completely different level of control. They will be able to develop a totally different mindset in their thinking on how money really works. I can share more on this, but I think you get the point.
I have always admired Foxy’s ingenious mind, but of course, some may not agree. People like him and our ancestors, like Noel Lloyd, are not supposed clean-cut mainstream types because they are beyond the groupthink minds and are much more expansive in their way of thinking. They are visionaries, so their minds think differently. The ignorant ones from all persuasions of supposed intelligence, may even categorize them as crazy, which they are not. Too intelligent for the average minds to recognize. However, I digress.
Getting back on point, you are doing it the rightway, which demonstrates your level of maturity this time around. The solutions you seek to move our country forward- are, indeed, with the people and not on the outside. I iterate- Don’t sell our People short.
