Jeff is Back and Kicking!!

 Jeff is Back and Kicking!!!

What started off as a simple and amazing family vacation, turned for the worst when our vehicle went off the side of a dark road, and crashed into a wall. Brian, my son, sustained minor injuries, while I shattered my tibia and fractured one of my cervical vertebrae. 

However, just as the kingsmen placed humpty dumpty back together, the amazing surgeons in Hawaii were able to put me back together as well. 

I am now on the road to recovery, and though my bones may have been broken, my spirit is still intact. I would like to thank you all for your words of hope and encouragement. They truly meant a lot to me. Small Hope is all we need when the going gets tough, and allows us to persevere!!!!

Love Always, 
Jeffrey Birch

Happy Independence Bahamas!

 Bahamas 42nd Independence

After 325 years of British rule, the Bahamas became independent on July 10th, 1973. The Birch family witness history as the Union Jack (British Flag) was slowly brought down, and the Bahamas flag hoisted. The colours each with a meaning; Black for the strength of the people, gold for the sun, and turquoise blue for the surrounding sea, represented the sovereignty of what would be become The Commonwealth of The Bahamas.  

It was a moving moment for all who witness and patriotism flowed in the blood of every man as they song the Bahamas National Anthem: March on Bahamaland.

Small Hope Bay played a pivotal role in the achieving of independence in the Bahamas. The first two secret conclaves of the Progressive Liberal Party (the party that led the Bahamas into independence) were held at Small Hope Bay Lodge. The activities of this meeting started a series of major historical events that would lead to Independence in 1973.

We would like to wish the Bahamas a Happy 42nd

Small Hope Bay Waste to Cash Program

Small Hope Bay Waste-to -Cash Program!!

Recently we started a recycling program with students from the local communities, transforming wine bottles into drinking glasses. 

In the past Abba did the processing of the wine bottles, however the program discontinued for a while. We decided to develop a program that would help promote recycling among st the younger generation in the local community. The students visit Small Hope Bay Lodge  twice a week two hours per day, one hour is spent studying, and the other is spent processing wine bottles. 

In the upcoming months we plan to stock our boutique with recycled glasses, the students will receive the majority of the earnings from these sales. On your next visit to Small Hope Bay, ask about our Waste-to-Cash student program.
