"Those
who know Montserratians know that they are proud people, self reliant
and hard working, proud that we who are descendants of British slavery,
... have by our own efforts built Montserrat into the thriving community
it was before this terrible disaster. We withstand hurricanes, earthquakes,
droughts..." |

"That
was Breezy's school," |
"It's
too scary to be here. I feel bad about leaving, and I don't know whether
I'll ever see my island again, but I'm stressed out."
Charlotte Ryan, one of the first to leave. |
