My Experience in Anse La Raye

My stay in Anse La Raye was memorable. I still think of the children I worked with at the Infant School with delight. They want to learn and the school was so prepared for us I feel we did make a difference in just the week we were there. The pride they have in their country was evident. The celebration of their Nobel Award Winners was moving. The children were singing their hearts out with joy. Excellence and Discipline were evident.
The village people were so open and easy to talk with. I enjoyed my walks around talking with and watching the fishermen and others. A special treat was working with a small of group of women in the evenings learning to sew, making and using patterns. Chemida’s, “OK. Let’s go.” After giving an instruction still rings in my head.
The beauty of the island is spectacular. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute in Soufriere’s botanical garden. St. Lucia is the only Windward Island named after a woman. Is it because of Petit and Gros Pitons? She's the Helen of the Windward Islands.
I hope to return if time and resources allow me.
