I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Hunt for many years in the Carpentry and home maintenance field. The knowledge imparted on me is invaluable and has served me well. Much success with the program.

I thought we were using our government money more wisely.

I believe this to be a great idea irregardless of whose idea it had initially been. I further believe it can also be a helping hand up for inmates at the Senior Training School and Pender Hill Prison Farm

This should be natural for any government 2 do! Teaching a man a trade is a great tool to succeed in life.

So happy to hear it’s up and running – let’s support it and kudoes to whomever got them more funding so they could continue! This will pay dividends!

I heard this was funded by Ewarts plp (too much so) with a grant and
rent free premises.
Still a good idea.

It just seems that they are not interested in learning this type of work.
I am glad you have you have that opportunity.
