And, by all accounts Anguilla is succeeding as both the incentive and meeting business and general tourism numbers for 2009-2010 have increased for this unspoiled tropical island gem. How has Anguilla, with its strong anti cruise, over-development and mass tourism stance, managed to increase business in a climate of world tourism downturn? Read More |

| CARIBBEAN CULTURE : CROPS, CARIBBEAN STYLE, PART 2 By Noah Banks What is the value of coffee you ask? The green beans of coffee, when put on the world commodity market, where they are purchased by roasters from around the world, are second only to oil in trading volume. The two main coffee species in the world are Arabica, usually hand harvested and considered the benchmark of coffee, and Robusta, an inferior coffee which can be, and on some moneyed plantations is, harvested by machine.

Sadly, most of the new world Arabica growers, a small portion of the 125 million people who gain their livelihood from coffee globally, are being threatened to extinction by the ever increasing production of Robusta...

The options limited. The very professional, English-speaking doctor at this modern, clean hospital explained the pros and cons of multiple approaches. I concurred that surgery was the best way to pin me back together. Immediately! The surgery was a success. The total costs a jaw-dropping 300% below the low end costs that’d I would have paid in the USA. My hospital stay went smoothly and my husband was permitted to stay with me in my hospital room, at no extra cost. The physical therapist comes to my home twice a week and tells me I’m recovery at an A+ rate... Read More |

| CARIBBEAN HEART: REMEMBERING HAITI (A SERIES) By Bob Sears We were counseled that a humanitarian commitment meant repeatedly visiting the same site and making a true connection with its people. Our group’s commitment came in the form of medical aid, and despite having no medical training or experience; we established a primary care facility where there was none in the mountains of Haiti. The majority of Haitians have never seen a doctor and do not have access to medications; basic medical care is not available to Haitians.. After four years of operation, the clinic, funded by the charity Haiti Healthcare Partners, is treating over 4,000 patients annually... Read More |
