DEPUTY Prime Minister and representative for Cat Island, Rum Cay and San Salvador, Philip Davis visited each of the schools in his constituency to offer encouragement to students and teachers as well as to personally make a gift of a school backpack containing essential school supplies to every student.

He was accompanied by the Local Government administrator for San Salvador and Rum Cay Harvey Roberts while in those islands, and by Cat Island administrator Jackson McIntosh while there.

During the visits, Mr Davis spoke of his days as a primary student in Old Bight and the challenges he and his contemporaries experienced.

He said many of today’s leaders in government and civil society were once students in those very school buildings, and expressed the hope that many future leaders would come from the constituency as well.
