A Glimpse into D’Moi Hodge's Family
Cleopatria aka ‘Cleo’, is a popular elementary school teacher who Studied Teacher Education at HLSCC Community College and graduated in 2011. In addition to her education, Cleo graduated from BVI High School, where she attended from 1990-1995.
In 2019, she launched an ambitious project known as “Cleo’s Miracle Basketball Explosion''. The teacher started the humanitarian organization to raise funds to support needy students by providing them with supplies and school uniforms.
Cleo’s organization organizes basketball events such as dunk-out competitions, 3-point shootouts, and girls’ games. Organizers of the event reward winners in each division with a trophy, jerseys, and other essential supplies. The program keeps young people preoccupied and prevents them from indulging in substance abuse. Additionally, it helps the local coaches identify highly talented student-athletes on the Islands and develop them into basketball stars.
Her GoFundMe page allows international donors to donate money to the events. Unfortunately, she is not in good health as she has survived 19 surgeries, including four brain surgeries.
On the other hand, Cleo’s husband, Courtney Hodge, is a construction worker. His main job is driving heavy equipment to different sites across Tortola Island. However, he gets most contracts in Road Town, the largest urban area on Tortola Island.
