Quote of the Day

Before sending the donation to the bank account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of State in that Ministry, Minister Leslie Campbell, had committed in writing to Party Leader Mark Golding, that the donated funds would be disbursed in accordance with Mr. Golding's instructions.

However, without consulting or even advising us, the Government applied our donation to reimbursing itself for costs incurred in bringing home the students. We strongly objected to this and we are happy that the ministry has agreed to return the donation so that we can use it to benefit these students, who badly need the help.
