Press Release for Extension of Donation Nation Charity Shop and the presentation of Cheque Donations by the Honourable Adrian Forde, Minister of Environment and National Beautification, Blue and Green Economy.
The Future Centre Trust’s Donation Nation Charity Shop celebrated its second year of successful operations and the recent store expansion today with the gracious attendance of the Honourable Adrian Forde, Minister of the Environment and National Beautification.
Donation Nation welcomes donations of high-quality pre-loved clothes, books, household items, furniture and more, which it resells at accessible prices, diverting waste from the landfill whilst generating revenue to fund local charities.
Between October 2020 and May 2023 Donation Nation distributed $251,845 to support 17 local charities serving a wide range of community and ecological causes, from disability supports to cancer care, reef restoration and nonprofits that support at-risk youth and women. Donation Nation is also helping the Future Centre Trust fund the Barbados Trailway Project, which is reclaiming 24 km of the historic train line for a multi-use recreational trail, and
Clean Up Barbados, which organizes island-wide beach and gully clean-ups.

Thank you David, for #DonationNationBarbados is the best kept secret in Barbados. You can find many useful items diverted from the landfill through donations from ordinary citizens. Items such as clothing, electrical appliances, jewellery, books, shoes, jackets, goods of ostentation and many heirlooms.
Donors, select which charity they wish the proceeds from the sale of item to be paid. These quality items are all sold at the minimum price to allow quick sale. Our biggest item is clothing similar to Portbello Market London. Again, thanks for your support over the years. #CircularEconomy

Thanks for the comms Kammie.
Clothing is a major polluter on the scale of plastics. However, new microfibers to make new clothing is an opportunity. I invite members of the public to take advantage of the many purchase opportunities to be found by shopping at #DonationNationBarbados
I see Rome burning
Do you feel the burn?
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is currently in Venezuela.
We proudly call his name for few here would know it. Minds infected my the racism of Western media are so disposed.
He goes on to fellow US illegally sanctioned countries, Nicaragua and the Mother of all US sanctioned countries Cuba.
Though there are some here who have argued that the crippling sanctions on Cuba particularly, for over 60 years, are no big deal.
The Cubans themselves have always said differently.
The nature of racism avail White people and their Black lackeys here to defend a history replete with the worst crimes against all of humanity.
Just like another Johnny here has been adamant for years that National Socialism, Nazism, is a product of the left. Against a clear history and overwhelming proofs. Even at a time when these historiographies are repeating themselves. Racism rite large.
We remember well when Iran, under US illegal sanctions, had no downstream fuels and it was the Great Hugo Chavez who sent cargoes to aide them. Recently, the Great Iranian nation, still under illegal US sanctions for 40 years and counting, had cause to return the favour. It did so many times over, even under the threat of American empire acting as pirates on the high seas.
The multipolar world is certainly taking shape. That Raisi, could be in the region and not a single Caricom country is worthy of a look-in clearly defines the nature of the regional assholes.
Raisi, in Venezuela signed 24 cooperating deals, plus some which will remain private no doubt.
Soon, we’ll be hearing all kinds of facile complaints on missing the bus. But what else should be expected of slaves?
We kept calling them Slaves for decades. Now videos are coming out showing that after abolition, slavers thought it made better capitalist sense to breed slaves rather than go all the way to the continent to kidnap…plus the abolition did not help. So this is what we are dealing with, well bred Slaves, from the 1800s well into the 20th century…and into the 21st and going forward..repeat births.
Angola plantation now Angola prison in US was one of the breeding farms and all across the south to increase a slaveminded population..
..and ya know how small island idiots love to copy negatives…well they ended up with bred slaves. ..remember the famous ITV UK interview “bajans are slaveminded” that i took issue with as an invitation to new slave masters to jump into the society to exploit…
Told them something was very wrong with their mindsets…all of that needs to be bred out…a whole nother procedure and animal to deal with.
When i saw the videos, it took me by surprise that it really happened. Could see as plain as day it was done on the islands an experiment more likely than not started in Barbados and spread across the entire region.. They better work overtime to get rid of the slave mind.
Pacha….this is what the sleazy politicians…RATS.. use for their own moneymaking advantage and sell..

After 40 years of neoliberalism blogs are no better off than Western economies – fiinancialization and deindustrialization have profoundly upended the entire enlightenment ethos.
Blogs like the Manhattan blocks and mortar retailers hardly see any customers these days. Vast numbers of NYC real estate owners represent the underlying cause for coming bank failures as the post Covid working from home normalcy make a commercial desert of the “small apple”.
These states of affairs exceed notions of a mere imperial decline. It maybe civilizational at its centre. Not to impose the spectre of AI and a host of other issues toooo difficult to deal with being here (sic) as Bishie’s foolish book is said to say.
