The festival culminates on Sunday, November 14 with more dramatic presentations, readings and workshops. One of the highlight of the evening will be the viewing of the video “My Little Island,” at 5 p.m. at the Cultural Centre. The video, starring LeVar Burton, is based on the children’s book of the same name by author Frané Lessac and portrays life on the island of Montserrat.For details on Montserrat’s Alliouagana Festival of the Word, visit www.litfest.ms or call 664.491.3924.

About Montserrat:

Montserrat, the only country outside of Ireland that celebrates St. Patrick‘s Day as a national holiday, is a lush green and mountainous island in the Eastern Caribbean. Known fondly as the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, this pear shaped island is a traveler’s paradise for nature lovers, divers, adventurers, family and villa vacationers, and honeymooners. This British overseas territory boasts the spectacular Soufrière Hills Volcano, a modern day Pompeii in the form of its buried former capital city Plymouth, alongside lush, green mountains, world class nature trails, deserted dark sand beaches, untouched reefs and a quiet friendly charm reminiscent of the way the Caribbean used to be. For more information on Montserrat and its breathtaking scenery and unspoiled, unpolluted coral and volcanic vistas, visit www.visitmontserrat.com.

It seems that The University of the West Indies, apart from creating an environment where students can excel academically, it also allowed some to find their spouses. It also helped the regional integration effort, as many UWI Couples are of different Caribbean nationalities.

We have created a special group for those who fall into this unique category and hope that they will enjoy networking with other UWI Couples in this way.
