He is the Jesus to the other apostles: Nigel, Glenn, Don, Kazim, Harold, Manuel.........
"Cumpleanos Feliz te deseamos a ti.....

My beloved Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Brothers',
Just a little update about myself and sharing some thoughts with you.  My loving regards to Ladislao, Don, Nigel, Jon, Fr. Harold, Glen, Joe, our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Executive, and all our Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys'.
 At present I am still coordinating our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Facebook Group together with Glen McCoy.  I am also continually updating our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Database that was started and developed by Nigel.  In addition, I am continuing to keep our Mount St Benedict Abbey School website going.  All this is to support the work started by Ladislao who continues to serve us steadfastly, his invaluable work which is supported by Don by means of a blog for our 'Boys'.
And I do this as a means to assist our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Group by the use of my computer skills.  Skills I have developed over the years, and continue to do so.  For many years now I have been developing websites, and have included blogs, and social media such as Facebook.  As I continue to develop websites, I am at present developing web apps and mobile apps.  It is an ongoing learning experience with so many computer languages constantly being developed and used in programming.  However, with an attitude to always serve others, this is a path I readily choose for myself.
Prior to attending Mount St Benedict Abbey School from 1970 to 1972, I attended Holy Cross College in Arima from 1965 to 1970.  I also serve our Holy Cross College Alumni with a website/blog, a Facebook Group, and a Database too.  And this I have been doing for a long time now.  At present I am working with our present Holy Cross College Principal helping to start raising funds for an extension building to our present Holy Cross College.  Incidentally, one of our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Past Students – Dr. Bernard Tappin served as a former Principal of Holy Cross College, and now serves on the Holy Cross College Board.  I am working with another Holy Cross College Past Student setting up a computer centre at Holy Cross College.  In addition, I have also created a website/blog for the Holy Cross College itself, this will be handed over to the Holy Cross College students when we have things set up properly.
Holy Cross College is an active college, whereas Mount St Benedict Abbey School is no longer active.  So there are different dynamics involved.  The work I do for Holy Cross College is to benefit the present and incoming students.  Holy Cross College was built by the community of Arima, by the active involvement of past students' parents, with business and community leaders, led by the Church.  And so Holy Cross College Past Students are involved in the present and future of Holy Cross College.  And I play a very active part in the affairs of the college by using my computer and communicative skills via the internet.
Now, I do not have the strong bonds as some of our other Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys' have, having attended college there for only 2 years.  Some of our Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys' have been there since childhood and have ties with their classmates and schoolmates for many years growing up at the Mount as a home.   I see our Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys' Alumni association as a foundation. So that our Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys' Alumni name lives on through our charitable deeds we do wherever we reside and that our children carry forward on our behalf.
My idea regarding the actual Mount St Benedict premises:  If we as a group can get together and purchase the sporting areas – the pool, tennis courts, football/cricket fields, and surrounding areas free and clear from the Abbot or whoever owns the property.  We can then rebuild the pool to international Olympic standards and rent out for its upkeep.  We can also build a gated community of condominiums and sell them to our 'Boys' who can have a home in their 'childhood home' again.  
There is an area above the football/cricket field on the western side overlooking the football/cricket field where we can build these condominiums and other buildings.  We can also have a common area to host functions and meetings for our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Alumni Association.  Facilities we can also rent to raise funds for the upkeep and maintenance of the properties.  If need be we can build phases of condominiums for sale or rent to international clients, where they can host conferences, events, etc, etc.  The ideas flow as we get more involved in the process.  We would need investors from the Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys' to materialize this project though.
That is my thoughts I share with you as I continue to support the work of Ladislao, Don, Nigel, Jon, Joe, our Mount St Benedict Abbey School Alumni Association and Executive and all our Mount St Benedict Abbey School 'Boys'.

Kazim,
Your idea is sound and worthy of exploration by all those who wish to devote the necessary time and effort.
I suggest you summarise it into a brief but business-like Executive Summary which can be circulated instead on an email narrative which will be read and forgotten.
Well done, Bro’.
Jon Golding
So the demand will be there is the facilities are upgraded.

Thank you, Jon, for your advice of putting my idea into a brief business-like Executive Summary.
This I will do next.
Blessings.....Kazim.
