Life, as far as I am concerned is great here. There is very little pressure on us to make money because almost everyone is poor. We are happy to be poor and we don't necessarily strive to make something of ourselves. Most of St. Lucia's economy revolves around tourism and the exportation of banana's. .

This weekend a construction crew from Castries, the capital of St. Lucia came into our village and began constructing a new bridge over the river. The old one has began to rot. There is a plaque on the bridge that says that it has been donated by the government of Canada. Often foreign governments help support our infrastructure. .

I don't even have a job, when I need money for food I drive some tourists around the island for a day. I would make enough money for the entire week. I don't have to pay for my house because my successful brother, who was emigrated to the U.S sends our family money regularly to pay for the care of our mother.
