“Parents continue to be grateful for the positive impact the programme continues to have on their children especially towards their academics. So much so that there is a growing cry for a secondary school level of the homework/study programme. For this we will start to explore and raise funds for because our future is in our youth so any investment in our youth is worthwhile,” said Honourable Fahie.

The First District Representative has often touted the success of the programme.

We are pleased to note that grades have improved and that the overall performance in school for students have also improved. Let us continue to encourage and support our youths," Hon Fahie had told his First District constituents on January 24, 2015.

    An excellent approach Hon. Fahie that is why all representatives must not be at each others neck but work together for the good of the entire BVI. While you criticize don't come with a problem but with a solution.
