Issued by The Guyanese Association of Barbados Inc..

Monday October 25th-2010

The sad news early Saturday morning of October 23rd 2010 concerning the passing of the former Prime Minister of Barbados, the Honorable David Thompson, has been heartrending to all.

Mr. Thompson had been battling pancreatic cancer for months and while he confronted his disease with fortitude and courage, we all knew that his was a mighty challenge that could end his mortality we were all nonetheless deeply saddened and overwhelmed by his death.

This is a most difficult time for the former Prime Minister’s wife, children, family, government and people of Barbados for at age 48; Mr. Thompson departs us at the prime of his intellectual prowess. Barbadians should all be comforted that the thoughts and prayers of all Guyanese are with them at this time of grief and sorrow.

President Bharat Jagdeo in extending deepest condolences on behalf of the government and people of Guyana remarked that Prime Minister Thompson had earned the respect of the people of Guyana and, “I am sure that of the entire Region through the tremendous courage and dignity which he displayed to the end. In this we saw his true quality as a leader – one who placed his country and people above himself.”

On behalf of the executive and members of the Guyanese Association of Barbados Inc. (GABI) and all Guyanese living in Barbados, GABI extend heartfelt sympathies to former Prime Minister David Thompson’s wife Mara, his daughters Misha, OsaMaria and Oya , his family, the government and people of Barbados on his passing.

God bless Barbados. God bless the family of David Thompson during this time and always. May he rest in eternal peace..

Positives Vibes: Respect each other.

“Have you ever given taught about being in the world all alone? If yes, what a boring place that would be. I could remember sitting on Browne’s Beach watching the sun go down and then day dreaming in the sand with my eyes shut while people exercising and playing all sort of games. It was about ten to six in the evening, the place was suddenly quite…I opened my eyes from my short slumber and then I realised that it was only me alone on the beach. My first taught was where did everybody go? The place was lonely and dark, all I could hear is the waves bashing against the sea shores. Then I washed my face with some sea water and shocked my head in disbelief, yes I have learnt an important lesson in life: it is the people around us that makes a difference in the world, otherwise this world would have been a dull place. We as youths need to start respecting each other, forget about race, nationality, background, etc., and start to see people for who they are (yes guys, start giving some love). Think about being in the world all alone.”

Who Is DJ Rubbers?

zadanservices — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 04:58:57 +0000

I guess your first taught is where did he get that DJ name from, well without any further hesitation let me tell you, because even if you have guessed, your answer was wrong. Firstly, my legal name is Daniel Bovell. I am a Guyanese national living in Barbados for several years now. My first job was in an administrative capacity within the Ministry of Education (MOE), Guyana. I have always taken a liking to computers, so is it only natural to be working presently with them. I am an Information Technology professional, having graduated from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill and CompTIA University, USA.
Not to get you bored any longer let me just tell you how I came about with DJ Rubbers. I was a Peer Counsellor with the Guyana Responsible Parenthood Association (GRPA) and one of my responsibilities was to speak to the young ones about being responsible and taking the necessary precautions with this dreaded virus called AIDS. The GRPA gave us a lot of condoms to distribute to the young ones and to show them the proper use of same. I usually kept a lot of condoms in my wallet and if I was approached I would just give them away. (In Guyana during that time you had to purchase condoms and they were expensive) so you see why people came to me for them. My work colleagues in the MOE give me the name Rubbers….because I always had rubbers (condoms) on me, lol. Read More
