The 40 elders were selected from each village across St. Kitts and President of the St. Kitts Basseterre Lions Club, Charmaine Pemberton explained why 40 persons were selected.

The tour started in buses and was completed on the Scenic Railway’s train. During the tour they were treated to snack boxes containing sandwiches and bottled water.
The Lions Club president also explained why an elderly group was chosen for this tour.
“We prefer to reach out to the elderly and show them that somebody care for them still so that is exactly why we chose the elderly.”
