    You know in all fairness donations such as this should be done on a regular basis, not only to the Fiennes but to include Clare View home for the girls and so on.

    All these cleaning products will end up in some Fiennes staff homes. Many businesses in Antigua would love to do more for these government healthcare facilities, including the hospital and mental care facilities; however, there is no accountability and staff-sticky fingers.
