Students and staff of the Charlestown, Nevis Primary School (CPS) were happy recipients of two Magnovox DVD players on Monday October 22, 2007, a gift they received from Area Representative for Charlestown Hon. Robelto Hector.

During the presentation to Principal Mrs Alice Swanston at the school’s morning assembly, Mr. Hector noted that the gift was as a result of a request by a parent who alerted him of the school’s needs which was articulated during a Parent Teachers meeting.

“This is a request that came from a parent right after your last meeting. The parent came to me and told me what the needs of the school were. I thought that this was not an unreasonable request and so I decided to give the school two DVD players,” he said.

Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas said Monday that the “Christophe Harbour” development on St. Kitts’ Southeast peninsula has already brought considerable recognition to the island and has begun to generate huge amounts of economic activity.

Prime Minister Douglas, who was in New York for the official announcement of the multi-million dollar tourism project by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group said the “type of up-market tourism that we are now targeting and which this development represents, provides the most potential for the development of spin-off businesses on island, while simultaneously providing more jobs with better wages and salaries without the need for large numbers of hotel rooms, so they bring the maximum revenue to island without a huge detrimental environmental impact.”

Prime Minister Douglas and Minister of State for Tourism, Sen. the Hon. Richard “Ricky” Skerritt were among officials when the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group announced that it will manage a new luxurious 125-room resort with 20 Residences at Mandarin Oriental on the island of St. Kitts in the British West Indies, which will open in 2010. The Group now has a portfolio of five resorts open or under development in the Caribbean region.
