LABORIE MOURNS: PASSING OF BELOVED SON & DEDICATED COMMUNITY STALWART, RUDY THOMAS JOHN

22 October 2016

Rudy Thomas JohnPlenus annis abiit, plenus honoribus – He is gone from us, full of years and full of honors

It is with heavy hearts and a deep sense of loss that we in the LDF and the entire community of Laborie mourn the passing of Educator, Sports Administrator and Social Actor, Rudy Thomas John.  Known affectionately as “RJ”, his death will have a significant impact on the landscape of social action and overall development in our community.

RJ, a humble, yet steadfast and contrite being, touched the lives of many through his service to community and state in various voluntary and professional capacities.  He was a Retired Teacher and Education Officer and in recent years was coordinator of the National Enrichment and Learning Programme (NELP) in the south of the island.  His service to youth and Sports Development expanded from his community, through the Laborie Sports Association to the national stage where he served on the executive of the Saint Lucia National Cricket Association and the Saint Lucia Football Association during the 70’s and 80’s.

RJ was a founding member of the Laborie Co-operative Credit Union, the Laborie Development Foundation; and most recently served as President of the Laborie Fishers and Consumers Co-operative.  One of his signature projects, the new Laborie Fishers and Consumers Co-operative Service Station stands today as a proud legacy to his commitment and dedication to advancing his community in all spheres of development.

Over the next few days, the Laborie community, in consultation with the family of Mr. John, will plan an activity to celebrate the life and contribution of this illustrious son.

As of now we ask that you join with us and the entire community of Laborie in extending heartfelt condolences to his immediate family especially his wife Martha John.

May his soul Rest in Peace with God Almighty.

Saint Lucia’s Band of the Year Moko-Flixs at Laborie Freedom Mas - 1 August

31 July 2016

mokoflix1Moko-Flixs entertainment is a youth cultural organisation originating from the community of Laborie. It is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of stilt-walking and the Saint Lucian traditional masquerade.

This organisation plays a major role in showcasing the art of stilt-walking especially at national cultural festivities such as Independence, Jazz, Carnival, Jounen Kwéyòl or Christmas, and it provides a unique attraction that helps support our tourism industry. Moko-Flixs also plays a major part in the community of Laborie and is also involved in cultural exchanges, mainly with Trinidad, Martinique and Guadeloupe.

Moko-Flixs Entertainment is also a medium that offers training in youth development programmes with the goal of empowering its membership through the passion of cultural forms and the holistic development of the youth.

mokoflix3Participation in the national Jouvè competition has become the latest addition to Moko-Flixs contribution to the national Carnival of Saint Lucia. This participation has allowed Moko-Flixs to bring in a traditional Jouvè experience and a unique touch to that event by being the only stilt-walking group.

Over the last four years, Moko-Flixs has consistently placed in the National Jouvè Competition and was this year awarded Band of the Year.
