7NEWS reporter and colleague, Keith Swift, will in the month of November travel to Barbados. This trip will provide Swift with regional recognition as he will proudly receive a Sagicor Award. The Sagicor Awards recognize the efforts made by reporters to bring to light issues such as non-chronic communicable diseases. 
Channel 7 reports that, Keith won the award for a story he and camera man, Alex Ellis, did in September of 2007 about the plight of the then four-year-old Doris Staine. Doris was born with spina bifida – a disorder of the spinal cord which prevented her from walking. Doris had graduated from pre-school and was looking forward to primary school but three schools rejected her because of her condition.
Keith Swift will also receive a certificate of merit from UNICEF.
