Thanks for all the replies.
@Dutty: I do have some other material that I think is decent, but none of it is related to football like the soca warriors dedication. Anyway if things with the school miraculously work out there are so many others things I'd like to get into. One thing at a time though, may not even survive the first step.
Luckily it seems as though I will no longer need a loan from a bank in T&T, at least not right now. The CEO of a relatively large company here offered to help me get a loan through one of her subsidiaries.
This isn't anyone's problem here, but whatever I'll write it anyway. The main problem is I urgently need this money otherwise I'm literally facing bankruptcy. Urgent means this week or next week for the latest. This money is to complete the purchase of an English school in China. I've already poured all of my money into the initial deposit, but now I need to come up with the remainder or it's game over for me. If I wait for that loan to go through it will be too late - they need to do some background checks, risk analysis and so on. Not to mention that I still need to find a Chinese cosigner for the application. All of these problems can be solved, but not quickly enough. Why in the world would I put all my money into something without knowing how or if I could come up with the balance? Well, I believe this is the opportunity of a lifetime and for the last few years I have been trying in vain to see how to either open a school here or become affiliated with one. Teaching in China is what I am passionate about, and perhaps none of you can fully fathom just how enormous the market is with respect to English learning. Every student from primary school to high school needs to learn English and most parents are willing to send their children to lessons after school. For these and so many other reasons I really could not pass up this opportunity, it was extremely risky and most might say excessively silly to put everything I have into this, but the way we view things often changes with time and results. I just had no choice.
What's my point of writing all of this? Well, I'm hoping some kind souls here will be willing to lend me some money - any amount you can afford will be appreciated. As soon as my loan is secured I will return the money with interest, but nothing astronomical as the transition period after I enter the school will be a bit difficult. I have loads of experience with this sort of thing because this is more or less what I have been doing and involved in for the last 8 years.
In my desperation I even considered reaching out to some Trinis who have been successful, who seem like genuinely nice people and are possibly accessible. The first two people I thought of were Ato Boldon and Shaka Hislop. Haha, of course the point now is both how to get in touch with them and even if I were to why should they help me out? That's enough of me pouring out my soul here… don't know what else to say, don't know what else to do. Everything is beyond my control now and all I can hope for is a second miracle. Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help out regardless of the type of assistance offered.
