Monday, January 19, 2004 – As activities for Noble Laureate Week begins
here today Monday January 19, 2004, a number of the activities continue to
provide a forum for young persons to display their talent, and to engender a
sense of national pride. On Tuesday January 28, nine secondary schools within
district three and four will participate in the Secondary Schools’ Concert.
Programmes Officer at the Cultural Development Foundation Barbara Du Boulay says
the students are very enthusiastic about the upcoming event. “I have been
working with the schools and the teachers of the various districts and everybody
seems to be very eager, they are very enthusiastic; they are preparing and will
be prepared for Tuesday’s presentation. They will be showcasing different art
forms, dance, drama, music, skits, and some of the works will be taken from
Honourable Derek Walcott and also Sir Arthur Lewis.”
Du Boulay says students stand to increase their knowledge of local achievers and
develop an appreciation for excellence during Noble Laureate Week which was
launched on Monday evening, at the National Cultural centre.
