Hurricane Paloma dealt Cayman Brac and Little Cayman a severe blow and reports indicate that the all of the schools on the Brac sustained fairly significant damage. Out thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has been affected and as a Ministry we will continue to do all that we can to support the recovery effort and get the schools in the Brac up and running as quickly as possible.

On a positive note from here in Grand Cayman, considerable progress continues to be made at the Clifton Hunter Campus in Frank Sound. The buildings are really starting to take shape as all of the foundations for the buildings have been laid and work has begun in earnest on the exterior shells. On four of the buildings approximately 30% of the exterior shell has been completed. Construction is slightly ahead of schedule, and with the end of the hurricane season almost in sight, delays due to bad weather are not expected as the project moves forward.
In even more good news, the contactor Tom Jones International has maintained a 100% safety record throughout the construction period thus far and holds weekly safety meetings with all workers to make sure that safety remains at the forefront of everyone’s mind. (BH)
