The Kathy Sweeney Lowe (KSL) Foundation held the KSL Cup, an annual golf fundraiser at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, on 3 February.

Nearly one quarter of the island of St. Kitts is rainforest, creating infinite possibilities of exploration for the adventurer at heart.  Reportedly, St. Kitts is one of the few places on the planet where the rainforest is actually expanding rather than shrinking. Lush peaks reaching 1,000 feet and above, mostly all of which is rainforest, is declared a protected National Forest Reserve.  Hikers and mountain bikers will find a variety of trails, ranging from moderate to challenging, winding past tropical plants and flowers, sparkling streams and waterfalls under a seemingly endless canopy of forest. One of the most popular hikes will take you to the summit caldera of Mt. Liamuiga, the island's highest peak rising 3,792 feet above sea level, where you...

The Carnival theme this year was Viva Las Vegas, so Molly happily accepted the invitation to participate in the afternoon-long event upon hearing of the glamorous costume consisting of headdress, feathered body suit, and the chance to be adorned head to toe in sparkles and glitter. Molly was part of the Inferno St. Kitts Troupes, composed of three small troupes; Molly was assigned to the ShowGirls troupe, dressed in all white. The two other troupes were Moulin Rouge dressed in red and Oasis dressed in green.

During the parade families lined the streets to get a closer...

Close to 15 groups including masquerade, clowns, mummies, string bands and bull have already registered for this year’s National Carnival parade and Folklore Avenue.

According to Ava Henry, Dance Specialist at the Department of Culture, these groups will “benefit tremendously from this donation” as the funds will be used as an incentive to encourage those groups that have sacrificed and invested much to keep these age-old sports alive.
