GRENADIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM SAYS THANKS

St. George, May 19, 2008 – Peter de Savary has once again given a helping hand.

Grenadian University student Narquis Horsford studying at The London Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom ran into some financial difficulty and was facing the possibility of having to abandon her degree programme. The Ministry of Education sought to assist in any possible way by seeking financial contributions from the private sector in Grenada -- and Peter de Savary came to the rescue.

Mr. de Savary was able to negotiate a package of assistance with the University, where the University agreed to underwrite half the cost and Savvy Grenada pay the other half. An eleven thousand dollar payment was then made on behalf of Mr. de Savary which enabled Narquis to continue her studies and receive her diploma.
 
On making the presentation, Resident Director of Savvy Grenada Mr. Richard Hallam said his organization will continue to be committed to the growth and development of the people and country of Grenada. "We have currently committed educational financial assistance to a number of students for the next two years, demonstrating how serious we are about helping the people of Grenada and about our much debated longevity on the island. We are passionate about people and will always seek opportunities where we can empower Grenadians. We hope that Narquis will come back to Grenada and use her knowledge positively," Hallam said.

 In response, Mr. Horsford wrote to Mr de Savary saying "Dear Sir, I am extremely pleased to hear the good news and would like to express my thanks to you for the assistance in paying the balance of my tuition fees. It has been a long and difficult struggle for me but I am happy that the situation has been resolved and can now look forward to getting back on track in gaining valuable experience that would help build a career that would allow me to be successful upon my return to Grenada. Once again thank you very much."
