Hon. Dr. Clarice Modeste Curwen

Persons were taught the importance of the fish processing, through a workshop in which was held, so they could better learn the valuable skills in fish handling, preservation, and packaging, creating new opportunities for income generation and strengthening the local fishing industry.
It has always been my love to empower our people.

Last Sunday I was delighted to participate in a distribution of safety gear and other equipment.
This was coordinated by Windref's Dr Trevor Noel and Mr. Roland Baldeo, working with officers of the fisheries Division.
I was impressed with the number of of young men who received the gifts as well as some older, stalwart fishermen.
This augurs well for the fishing industry and by implication, the economy of Grenada.
I recall another time during COVID when I was invited to perform similar duties.
I am strongly reminded that we need a Jetty more than ever at Waltham.
I call on the Minister of Infrastructure (works) to honour the contract for the Jetty that is lying somewhere in the Ministry and give those fishermen a chance at survival.
Give the young men hope

As member of Parliament for St. Mark’s, I have been actively involved in supporting education and community development in the parish.

Key contributions include:

- *Direct school support*: I have helped facilitate donations of school supplies and resources to local schools, including items like computers, reading books, and PPE for students during the pandemic.

- *Community empowerment programs*: I spearheaded the St. Mark’s Women in Action initiative through the UNDP Women of Worth program, providing entrepreneurial training and seed funding to women in the area. While not directly in classrooms, it’s aimed at strengthening families and the wider community that supports students.

- *Constituency engagement*: As MP, I am known for distributing resources and advocating for education within St. Mark’s, often partnering with local groups and diaspora organizations to benefit schools.

My approach have focused on practical support and building long-term capacity for families in St. Mark’s, which indirectly uplifts the schools and students there.
