Talking about the country, Anthony said: âThis is my first time here and I love it. Itâs just like home, the climate, the people, the roads and the drivers!
âIâve been all over the place, Iâve seen the coast and animal parks, Iâm well pleased. My job is local purchase so I get out and about for that as well.â
Aluan added: âLike Anthony, I love it here, I have been into Nairobi and found itâs like any big city but does cater a lot for tourism.
âI havenât been here as long as Anthony so I have yet to get out and about but hope to go on Safari and do some diving down at the coast.â
Anthony attended Adelphi Secondary School in Simon and was a policeman with the Royal St. Vincent Police Force before joining the army in 2001. His mother Ruth lives at Biabou.
A former pupil of Emmanuel High School Aluan also joined up in 2001. His parents Charles and Valcina live in Kingstown.
