 The Jeff Small Grant Program implemented by the United Nations Development Program, UNDP, in collaboration with the Women on a Mission Outreach Inc. and the Government of St. Lucia hosted a two-day Knowledge Fair. The purpose of the fair was to raise more awareness in the areas of environmental quality, nutrition and health. The Four Modality Knowledge Fair consisted of a public forum, 50 interactive booths at the William Peter Boulevard, technical talk sessions, an indigenous culinary area and an indigenous music section. Giles Romulus is the national program coordinator of the Jeff Small Grant Program. About one year ago, we decided to plan St. Lucia's first Knowledge Fair to demonstrate to St. Lucia's that the latent genius can be reignited once again in many forms. A Knowledge Fair is an approach to learning, which uses several modalities for sharing information and knowledge to ensure that there is understanding and a higher probability of action. 21 percent of St. Lucia's working population are employed in the agricultural sector. Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Hon. Alan Chastney, stressed on the importance of such initiatives. The topic from soil and water to the pallet, a healthy journey and the timing of this Knowledge Fair could not have been more appropriate. I say so because it's happening in the midst of a festive season, a time we all know that solutions enjoy more than their fair share of food and drink. And while I believe that as a nation we need to celebrate our successes for the year, as we give thanks to the Almighty for our many blessings, more ever we believe that it is proper that we should take stock not only of what we consume, but how we consume. The UNDP representative for Barbados and the OECS, Chisa Mikami, commended the members of the Jeff Small Grants program on the undertaking. With a bank of 8,400 projects and an investment of over 15.3 million Eastern Caribbean dollars since October 2012, Jeff FGPU and St. Lucia decided to demonstrate program results with the fall through the monetary activity in North Fair in the Barbados and the OECS program. The Jeff Small Grants program Knowledge Fair commenced on the 10th of December and culminated on the 11th of December 2018. From the Government Information Service, I am Anisia Antwan reporting.
