Montserrat Mentioned in Ocean Home Magazine
A short review of the island of Montserrat was listed in the Ocean Home Magazine following the one day visit of freelance writer, Paul Rubio, who was hosted by the Montserrat Tourist Board earlier this year. The short paragraph which was written alongside the main feature on Antigua is headlined ‘Meet the Neighbors – Montserrat’, and speaks about Montserrat’s unique qualities and background facts of the island. Ocean Home Magazine was launched in June 2006 for luxury real estate firms, coastal developers, manufactures and leading purveyors catering to the coastal elite. They are devoted to the enhanced real estate and lifestyle opportunities to be found at the ocean's edge and have a circulation of 60,000.

International Soca Artist, Garvin ‘Scrappy’ Johnson who is
Trinidadian by birth but who grew up in Montserrat, has created a charity campaign in a venture to give back to the Montserratian community. The abbreviated R.E.A.D, which translates to ‘Rewarding Education and Determination’, is a charity that supports innovative ideas and assists ongoing projects so that they become more exposed and popular in the mainstream circuit. Scrappy expressed that the campaign is mainly aimed at assisting and offering an opportunity to local Montserratians in achieving their goals through education. The charity also creates opportunities for Montserratians to be exposed outside of Montserrat through connections and networking links in education. R.E.A.D will be making donations every 3 months starting from June 2012. Applications on how to get funding will be on the website www.scrappyonline.net
