Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>We are raising funds for a memorial to Lester, who as many of you know tragically lost his life in a landslide during hurricane Tomas. Sadly Lester's daughter and ex-wife were also killed, so we hope to assist his family with funeral costs. A funeral in St Lucia costs around EC$5000! Please make a donation in memory of Lester, a lovely man who many of us have been lucky enough to work with in the forests of St Lucia.For more information about Lester and if you wish to share a memory of him please visit <a href="http://blog.durrell.org/index.cfm/2010/11/17/In-memoriam-Lester-Jean-Baptiste-1956--2010" target="_blank">http://blog.durrell.org/index.cfm/2010/11/17/In-memoriam-Lester-Jean-Baptiste-1956--2010</a></p> <p>For more information about the devastation caused by hurricane Tomas in St Lucia please visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11672819</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
