We have a few questions to ask the LoGB today.
The first caller of the day is the God-father of the Youth Flex Mr. Carl Brown from Pan America Health Oorgaization Headquarters Washington D.C. informing us about World Blood Donors Day with a special guest Miss North Dakota from the United States of America.

2006 Gospel Festival Winners in Concert

Clarity wooed the crowd of 2000+ to capture the 2006 Gospel Festival crown with their song "Open your heart" . The male quartet are the guests on Youth Flex this week. They plan to release a CD in June this year.

Culture Part II

Today's show is continuing the discussion of Caymanian Culture part 2. On the show today is the "God-father" of Youth Flex Mr. Carl Brown and the "Uncle" of Youth Flex Mr. Roy Bodden, we also have two past co- hosts of the Youth Flex Crew, Felix and Matthew.

This is your boy, the newest member of the Youth Flex Crew, better known as ''Biggz''. I believe that today's show reached a lot of highlights of our local culture. As a Caymanian I believe that we are not taught the sufficient amount of our own culture as much as we have learned of other nationalities culture. My personal belief is that Cayman is too concerned on their financial status rather than concentrating on it's youths knowledge of our roots.



Thanks for your attention and time,log-in and give us your opinion.
