  • Celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week

    Global Entrepreneurship Week events are occurring in 85 countries, and will attract an estimated 4 million participants through more than 27,000 mostly grass-roots events. We’re particularly pleased that U.S. Embassies in Rome, Paris, and Pretoria are this week holding events similar to ours here in Barbados.

  • Arms, Narcotics and Human Trafficking Seminar

    This seminar provided an opportunity for participants to discuss arms, narcotics and human trafficking throughout the Eastern Caribbean. Each delegation made presentations on the specific trafficking issues affecting their individual countries.

  • Public Affairs Officer, John Roberts shares a book with student Tahan Towler while headgirl Kiera Clarke–Knight, Principal Joseph Clarke and MP for St. Phillip South Adriel Brathwaite check out some of the books. U.S. Embassy donates books to more primary schools

    Public Affairs Officer Mr. John Roberts presented a set of 50 books each to Reynold Weekes Primary School and St. Martins Mangrove Primary in St. Phillip. He noted that like Barbados, the United States recognized the value of a sound education and being well read was at the core of that education.
