In keeping with its pledge to contribute to the development of Nevis, in particular the field of education, the Daniel Family Foundation of Cox Village presented a second group of nine students with financial assistance for their five year tenure in secondary school. The presentation took place at the SJCIC building at Cole Hill on August 23, 2008.

Deputy Premier of Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel, who is also a member of the Foundation, told the students it was important for them to maxamise the benefits derived from the assistance.

“The provision of the assistance for you to go to high school is important for you to take it and make as much use as possible and I am doing so because in our time in high school, these things were very, very scarce and having taught for many, many years, I recognise that these scholarships and these forms of assistance were absolutely necessary and they could have made a difference in the lives of so many other children had we had enough of these being available.

“Having been a teacher and having seen the need for these, it was not difficult for me to agree with my other brothers and sisters, that we should make a contribution to the education of the children”¦the idea is that the assistance must be like pebbles in water, it must have ripples. So I want to urge the students to continue on the mode of excellence. We may give you these scholarships and by hard work you may be able to win bigger ones and that is what we are hoping, that by sowing this small seed in first form, we would be able to win some others,” he said.
