Editor's Note
At the start, the team and I was unsure what to call the magazine. Eventually, we decided on Island Post. Why? For starters, our stories features strictly people and issues that concern the little island we’re on.
While I was writing this note, I came across a quote by Isaac Bashevis which I think gives our name more life; “Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge”. As a writer searching for stories in the past few months, I am constantly reminded that there is always more that can be discovered, learned and appreciated. It is our duty as journalists ourselves to provide our readers the opportunity to do so. I am proud to say that every story you read on Island Post will do the same for you.
This magazine is an accumulation of five hard working months. I hope you enjoy reading our stories as much as we enjoyed writing them.
Cheers,
Shafi

A phrase one would use to describe Samantha is “What is sleep?”. She’s a night owl so don’t be shocked when we tell you she has stayed up many nights.
