It was through a post I put up on Facebook that Elijah contacted me. We first met Elijah at Barbados Bay when he was four years old. Veanne, his Mother, and he brought us shells. This was the beginning of the 20+ year relationship with Veanne. What a lovely surprise it was to have a message from Elijah via Facebook. He was very surprised to find that we were in Tobago. He was enthusiastic about coming to our place for lunch.
What a great person! Veanne was so proud of him and rightfully so. Elijah is working in an office at the quarry just up the road from where we were staying. He came on his motorbike for lunch.
Veanne's brother (Elijah's uncle) has helped him rebuild a motor bike like the one in the picture below (which is his uncles) that Elijah presently rides to work daily. Elijah showed us pictures of the various stages of the rebuilding. What a transformation!
Elijah is taking an introductory Health and Safety course. This is a field that he is interested in. I was so impressed with Elijah. I know he will do well. Great personality, pleasing manner, good values.
