‘We can’t wait on gov’t to do everything’- Sinclair H. Flemming Jr
The proprietor of P3 (Paper Plastic Products), Sinclair H. Flemming Jr, said he first spotted the broken sign of the Department of Agriculture’s National Abattoir Facilities during the recently held Kiddies Fiesta which took place at the HLSCC lawns.
What stuck with him, he explained, was the close proximity of the broken signboard to the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport at Beef Island and the various travellers that would be passing it because of the approaching emancipation festival.
Using his expertise, his tools, some leftover lumber and material he had on hand, he hired a carpenter and within half a day the sign was as good as new.
Opportunity to help
“[I] saw an opportunity to help,” He said. "We can’t wait for the government to do everything in our society. I realised that a truck or some type of motor vehicle struck the structure that held the sign. We were recently building and I had some leftover lumber and material. So I decided to hire a carpenter, fix the structure, put back up the sign and brand the other side. Some lumber and a 1/2 days’ worth of work can’t kill us.”
He remarked that the point he is trying to make is to tell persons within the community that they can help without a “million dollars.”
“You would be surprised what half hour of your time in unison with colleagues can make a difference in your community or in some less fortunate families’ lives.
Pick up some garbage, help a child with their homework, teach someone a craft that you like, [such as] sailing, riding, swimming, and make productive use of the internet. You don't always have to give money, you don't even have to be well off, karma is a serious thing and with the help of others you will also rise.”
P3, Paper Plastic Products has participated in numerous charitable donations and community services actions throughout the VI and vows to continue.
