He challenged them to consider how they could contribute to their country and improve their school and community. Bulbulia highlighted the significance of leadership in everyday life, urging students to support their peers and stand against issues like littering and bullying. He also inspired them to dream big, whether as athletes, singers, or artists, and strive to be the best in their chosen fields.

No to kings!
In 2001, the United Labour Party (ULP) ascended to power in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, promising governance but accused of ruling with an iron fist. Led by Ralph Gonsalves, a figure often described as power-hungry and Marxist, the ULP’s rise was marked by what critics call the ‘Roadblock Revolution,’ a manufactured crisis that propelled them into office. Over the past 24 years, Gonsalves has entrenched himself as a dominant figure, consolidating power through strategic maneuvers and alliances, including the merger of the St. Vincent Labour Party (SVLP) with his Movement for National Unity (MNU) to form the ULP. Critics argue that his leadership mirrors the allegorical ‘Animal Farm,’ where promises of equality gave way to authoritarian control. Gonsalves’ tenure has been characterized by accusations of nepotism, corruption, and the creation of a subservient electorate dependent on state handouts like Poor Relief, food vouchers, and home appliances. These tactics, critics claim, are designed to secure loyalty and perpetuate his rule. As the nation heads to the polls, many Vincentians express a desire for genuine governance—a leader who prioritizes the interests of all citizens, transcending political affiliations. The upcoming election presents an opportunity for change, with the New Democratic Party (NDP) positioning itself as an alternative to the ULP’s entrenched regime. The outcome will determine whether St. Vincent and the Grenadines continues under Gonsalves’ rule or embarks on a new path of inclusive governance.

16 Days of Activism to End Gender Based Violence Begins in Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda has officially commenced the 16 Days of Activism campaign, a global initiative aimed at eradicating gender-based violence. The campaign, which began on November 25th—the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women—will run until December 10th, Human Rights Day. This year’s theme, “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls,” underscores the growing concern over online harassment and abuse targeting women and girls. The Ministry of Social and Urban Transformation, through its Directorate of Gender Affairs, is spearheading the campaign’s coordination. Honorable Rawdon Turner, Minister for Social and Urban Transformation, emphasized the campaign’s significance, stating, “The 16 Days of Activism provides a crucial platform for government, civil society, the private sector, and citizens to advocate, learn, share experiences, and take meaningful action to raise awareness and ultimately eradicate gender-based violence.” A series of events have been planned to mark the occasion, including Orange Day, where citizens are encouraged to wear orange in solidarity with survivors, a media day to amplify awareness, and a high-level press conference addressing the national state of gender-based violence. Other activities include a Support and Referral Centre Open House, a youth parliament debate, a church service, a poster competition, and a panel discussion on digital gender-based violence. Minister Turner issued a rallying call to the nation, urging citizens to be fearless advocates for survivors and to contribute to making Antigua and Barbuda a regional leader in gender-based violence response. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to advancing gender equality and eliminating gender-based violence through policies, programs, and legislation.

London University Honours Professor Sir Hilary Beckles
On Wednesday, 19 November 2025, the University of London bestowed the prestigious title of Honorary Doctor of Social Sciences upon Professor Sir Hilary Beckles. The ceremony, held on the university’s Foundation Day, commemorated its 189th anniversary and took place at Senate House, the institution’s administrative hub, under the patronage of Chancellor Her Royal Highness Princess Anne. During the event, orator Professor Kingsley Abbott lauded Sir Hilary for his decades of exceptional scholarship, leadership in higher education, and groundbreaking advocacy for social justice globally. Born into the ‘Windrush’ generation, Sir Hilary’s academic journey began in the UK, where he earned a PhD in Economic History from Hull University at just 24 years old. His career soared as he became the youngest professor at the University of the West Indies at 35, later serving as its Vice-Chancellor. Today, he holds dual roles as Chancellor of the United Nations University and Distinguished Chancellor’s Visiting Professor at Cornell University. In his acceptance speech, Sir Hilary dedicated the honor to the University of the West Indies, which he described as his academic ancestral home, tracing its roots back to the University of London in 1948. He also reflected on his time as a Senior Research Fellow at the university 39 years ago, where he published his first major academic work. The University of the West Indies, established in 1948 with 33 medical students, has since grown into a globally respected institution with nearly 50,000 students across five campuses and international centers. It offers over 1,000 programs in diverse fields and is recognized in the Times Higher Education rankings for its contributions to research and sustainable development. Its International School for Development Justice (ISD) further cements its commitment to fostering future leaders in sustainable development.

Rayneau: St Jude Hospital was a monumental, risky task
The long-awaited reconstruction of St Jude Hospital in Saint Lucia has finally reached a significant milestone, thanks to the bold financial risks taken by the project’s contractor. Rayneau Gajadhar, Managing Director of Construction & Industrial Equipment Ltd., revealed to St. Lucia Times that he proceeded with major orders without formal government approval to ensure the project’s completion. This unconventional approach, while risky, was driven by his commitment to delivering the hospital to the people of Saint Lucia. Gajadhar stated, “I took the risk, and I said, ‘I am going to order it, and if you don’t like it, I will keep it and you don’t pay for it.’ It was a very big risk, but because I really wanted to get the hospital done, I took that risk.” Fortunately, none of the materials ordered have been rejected, though Gajadhar was prepared to absorb any potential losses. The physical structure of the hospital was handed over to the government earlier this month, but the facility is not yet fully operational. Key medical equipment is still being installed and tested, with the remaining shipments expected soon. Gajadhar emphasized that the project transcends political affiliations, stating, “This is not about me. This is not about the Prime Minister. This is not about [the] party in power. This is something the people of the south and the people of Saint Lucia deserve to have.” He also praised the healthcare professionals who have been providing services from makeshift facilities at the George Odlum Stadium since the original hospital was destroyed by fire 16 years ago. Looking ahead, Gajadhar’s company is expanding its regional portfolio, with major hospital projects in Montserrat and Grenada, as well as private sector developments in St Vincent, Grenada, and Dominica.

QEH chief declares incinerator era ‘over’ as new waste system comes online
Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) has addressed long-standing complaints from neighboring residents regarding smoke emissions from its incinerator by implementing a state-of-the-art waste management system. Chief Executive Neil Clark announced the milestone, marking the end of decades of environmental concerns. The new system is part of a broader $130 million upgrade initiative, with $65 million already allocated. Clark described the transition as one of the most symbolic changes in the hospital’s recent history, emphasizing its commitment to community well-being. For years, residents had voiced grievances about the incinerator’s smoke and odor, prompting repairs in 2018 and operational reductions by 2023. The installation of after-burners further minimized emissions, paving the way for the new system. Clark highlighted the hospital’s three-year strategic plan, which includes significant upgrades such as advanced clinical equipment like MRI and linear accelerator machines, enhancements to the Lion’s Eye Care Centre, and a new rehabilitation center supported by the Maria Holder Foundation. Additionally, the Enmore development project, featuring a bridge connecting the main hospital to a satellite facility, is progressing steadily. A new health information system, described as a “game changer,” promises to streamline patient care and improve operational efficiency. Behind-the-scenes efforts to strengthen financial and administrative systems, alongside staffing improvements, are also underway. Clark expressed optimism about the hospital’s future, revealing plans for a QEH sports field and VIP health checks for staff. The hospital will host a town hall meeting early next year to update the public on its achievements and upcoming projects. Last year’s meeting allowed residents to shape the hospital’s strategy, with their feedback directly influencing its direction. Communications specialist Shane Sealy noted the public’s active participation, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the hospital’s initiatives. The Pulse Radio Show will return for its fifth season, providing a platform for ongoing public engagement and updates as QEH moves toward its 2026 goals.

NOTICE: A VOTE FOR DWIGHT FITZGERALD BRAMBLE IS A WASTED VOTE
In a heated political development, the candidacy of Dwight Fitzgerald Bramble, the New Democratic Party’s representative for East Kingstown, has come under intense scrutiny. Critics argue that Bramble is constitutionally ineligible to serve as a Member of Parliament due to his Canadian citizenship. According to Section 26 (1) of the Constitution of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, individuals who voluntarily acknowledge allegiance to a foreign power are disqualified from holding parliamentary office. Bramble, who holds Canadian citizenship and a Canadian passport, is accused of violating this provision. His nomination was formally challenged by East Kingstown electors on November 10, 2025, raising questions about the validity of his candidacy. Opponents urge voters to reconsider their support, labeling a vote for Bramble as ‘wasted’ given the legal uncertainties surrounding his eligibility. The case is expected to be a focal point in the upcoming election, with potential implications for the political landscape of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
