 Welcome to NTIA Knifely. I am General Norvel. This edition, Top Story. Government's COVID-19 Prevention Initiative for the Private Sector is bankrolled by the Government of Taiwan. Our website is launched to track interventions of the Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan and cash prizes are awarded to winners of the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports Local Competition. The Government of Taiwan has stepped in yet again to assist inclusion in its COVID-19 response. A Czech presentation ceremony was held on Tuesday 27 April to fund the Ministry of Commerce Infection Prevention Initiative that is geared towards enhancing the capacity of lower-income level staff and owners of micro, small and medium enterprises to sanitize their domestic and business environments. We have a report. The initiative was designed in collaboration with the business community to assist the owners and lower-income employees of micro, small and medium enterprises, SMEs, to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. SMEs have been hit by the pandemic, given the need to curtail business activity to prevent the spread of the virus. This exacerbated the resources of not only the businesses, but the lower-income level employees as well, who may not have had adequate resources to sanitize their homes to prevent the spread of the virus. Honourable Bradley Felix is the Minister for Commerce, Industry, Investment, Enterprise Development and Consumer Affairs. In response to a request from the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, the MSME Support Program was conceptualized as a COVID-19 prevention initiative, geared towards enhancing the capacity of lower-income level staff and owners of micro, small and medium enterprises to assist with their adherence to COVID-19 protocols. This was in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. The Government of St. Lucia is pleased to receive assistance of just under EC$1 million from the government and people of Taiwan through the Embassy of Taiwan in St. Lucia. The funds will be utilized to provide supplies to 5,000 staff at the lower-income level and 3,000 owners of micro, small and enterprise enterprises to enhance the capacity to adhere to two components of the COVID-19 protocols, wear a mask and sanitize. Taiwanese Ambassador His Excellency Peter Shen said that the initiative is geared towards enhancing the capacity of lower-income level staff and owners of SMEs to sanitize their immediate domestic and business environment to abate the spread of the coronavirus. This program aims to support micro, small, medium enterprises through providing sanitizing items that the business community require for reopening. I would like to commend the determination and the efforts of Honorable Prime Minister Alan Sharsney and Honorable Minister Bradley Felix and the Government of St. Lucia to combat the pandemic and rejuvenating the economy. Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Investment, Enterprise Development and Consumer Affairs Sofia Henry found all those involved for their assistance. We were encouraged by the speedy action of the Department of Economic Development in processing our requests for assistance from the Government of China, Taiwan. Thousands of lower-income employees and owners of MSMEs will receive reusable face masks and a variety of cleaning supplies for use at home and in their business. The initiative was very well received by the Government of China, Taiwan, and the processing of the requests was expedited by the local embassy. Executive Director of the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, Brian Luise, indicated that following talks with relevant entities, one of the priorities was to see the safe reopening of the economy. One of the things we've said is that we want to see St. Lucia recover and see the economy open safely. And we want businesses, we want to help businesses, especially the small businesses, develop the capacity to operate safely. So we will give them information, but we must give them the tools to do so. And we thought this type of initiative will help them change the signs that are on their doors that says no mask, no entry. No mask coming, we will give you one. So we don't turn the business over because we need businesses to operate and we need the small and micro businesses to operate. This initiative will cost some 945,800 EC dollars and will target 5,000 staff at the lower income levels and 3,000 owners of micro, small and medium enterprises. From the Government Information Service, I am Janelle Norville. The Government of St. Lucia has launched a website dedicated to its Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan. The online platform was created as an avenue for the monitoring of 32 interventions spanning its six pillars. Comedian Secretary in the Department of Finance is Esther Rigober. To this end, the ERRP website will provide a perfect platform to evaluate, monitor and provide feedback on the various initiatives being implemented by the Government of St. Lucia. The public will be able to track the progress and give suggestions for improvements as the various measures are being rolled out. Rigober adds that this resource will also foster greater accountability and transparency for the work being done by various Government agencies. The pillars of the Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan are simulating the economy, fast-tracking shovel-ready projects, strengthening social protection systems, accelerating legislative reform for the productive sector, strengthening the healthcare system and building resilience against disaster risk and climate change. Web developer Marvin Hutchinson says details on any of these can be easily accessed from the main web page. This landing page basically gives you all the information regarding the ERRP program as well as quick links to the respective pillars and the other programs involved in the recovery, the response of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, to access the respective pillars, you could either go through any of the quick links here or you could go to the ERRP tabs here. You are introduced to the six pillars, the three recovery and the three resilience pillars. Now, any pillar here can be accessible, so you just click on any of the cards and it presents you all the initiatives under that pillar. The Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan website address is errp.info In COVID-19 developments, active cases on Ireland registered a drop to double digits this week after 16 recoveries were announced Monday 26 April as of that date 97 were in care for the virus. On the other end of COVID-19 response, the vaccination steadily increased. The national campaign continues its second phase into this week, catering to persons at moderate risk of infection as well as those due for the second dose of the vaccine. Vaccine venues for Wednesday 28 April are Bexar Wellness Centre, then remothers preschools, two fry hospital grounds, VG Sports Complex, Monropo Wellness Centre and the T. Roche Miku Wellness Centre. Individuals who received the first dose of the vaccine during the week of the first to the sixth of March are encouraged to visit the vaccination site nearest to them during this week to receive the second dose. Individuals should also work with the vaccination card, which was given when the first dose of the vaccine was administered. 23,941 individuals have received their first dose and 392 have received their second dose to date. In the latest update from the Belmont Observatory in St. Vincent, while the last Sufria volcano continues to erupt, overall seismic activity remains low since the April 22nd explosion. Seismologist Rod Stewart says that the pattern is now typical of the growth and destruction of lava domes. He says the team is now challenged with trying to compare the low with activity during the three eruption months. December, January, February, when we're having very gentle dome growth, the only signals we saw then were recorded on the station near the summits. Now that station is being destroyed by the eruption, so we don't know if those small events are occurring in the moment. But, according to that, we are not having any of the events that have been seen throughout this explosion series. So that's a good point. It shows that the volcano has not got a lot of stress inside it. Last night, we recorded another signal from Alahar on, we think, the eastern side of the volcano. We expect to record these from time to time. Everything seismically is quiet. An observation flight took place Tuesday this week in a fixed wing aircraft. Visibility was poor with clouds blocking the crater for much of the time. The team at the observatory advised that explosions with accompanying ash fall of similar or larger magnitude can restart with little or no warning. Relief efforts continue meantime. Lusia assisted in facilitating a Cuban shipment of supplies to victims. Nemo San Lusia on April 19th and 20th, 2021 received from the government and people of Cuba on behalf of the government and people of San Vincent, a donation of approximately 40 tons of food supplies, water and plastic tanks. As usual, we just plan our part in the relief effort to help San Vincent. San Vincent is our neighbor, so we have to look out for them. So much thanks to the Cubans for the relief and we've been assisting them in uploading the aircraft, loading the containers to take off to Nemo to take to the vessel down to San Vincent. So in all we want to say thanks to Cuba, thanks to everybody, all the San Lucians that have been supplying relief for San Vincent. I personally want to say a big thank to you and just hope that they recover in good time. The cargo was transported to podcastries and loaded onto the Venezuelan naval ship by the San Lusia Coderco. On behalf of San Vincent and the Grenadines, we are extending gratitude to the Cubans for their generous donations. Still with volcano relief efforts, the San Lucian diaspora in New York will host a benefit for victims of the ongoing volcanic eruption in San Vincent. The fundraiser, A Grand Food Extravaganza, will feature Caribbean cuisine on sale at Sonya's Place, 824 Hukima Avenue, New York on Saturday 1st May from 11am. The venue will also serve as a drop-off location for non-perishable food and personal care donations. San Lucians in the Tri-State area are encouraged to support this gesture. The Babonodeh Original Committee of New York City has collaborated with home-based non-profit Rye St. Lucia Inc. to organize this event. The National Youth Council is using the Youth Month activities to promote the importance of exercising one's franchise. We have a report from an episode of the Youth Month series dubbed Runditalk that features their Value Devote Campaign. Take a look. The celebration of the work and achievements of young people in St. Lucia continues as part of Youth Month 2021. A staple of the series' activities is the Runditalk series of the Value Devote Campaign, spearheaded by the National Youth Council. Ajani Labon, second vice president of the National Youth Council, says the campaign encourages youth to become more involved in St. Lucia's democracy. We know that St. Lucia, a 42-year-old independent state, does not to some extent have a picture of young people who are meaningfully integrated and mainstream within youth development. So we recognize that there is a need for young people to be placed within a society or to understand the role that they play within a broader society. So the Value Devote Campaign seeks to do just that in providing young people with the platform to which they could sort of express not just their own opinions as to how the country should be developed but also to understand how the roles of key institutions like the National Youth Council, clubs and organizations and other civil society organizations play a role in the development of society. The first installment of the weekly series discussed the state of youth development in St. Lucia. National Youth Council President Niaz Alfred says while consistent improvement has been obtained, during the last 10 years more can be done. I believe that we need to get to a point in youth development in St. Lucia where youth development is people-centered. It is youth-centered and everything that we do has to come out of the input and the values and the contributions of our young people. And I think that is why a series, a campaign like the Value Devote Campaign is so important because it allows for young people to be able to contribute directly to what they want to see. Director of Youth in the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, Mary Wilfred says an important step towards the improvement of the youth sector. It was the separation of the Youth and Sports Department in 2017. Before you had the Youth and Sports Director and now the goal was to have youth have a separate budget so they can measure the outcomes of what they are doing and sports having a separate budget. And that gave us the liberty to now look at youth work in different lenses that if we now have a youth section of the ministry, how do we engage young people to become problem solvers in the community? And here came the youth workers. They are young people living in the community and we see them as our, you know, as our foot soldiers. And the youth, Mary Wilfred, as she contributed to the panel discussion at NTN from the Government Information Service. Hometi Mark reporting. Thank you, Homa. This is NTN Nightly. Up next, Primers Hutchinson with the NTN Nouvelle of We All. Nice, and she told me that my friends rent in if water gets rid of food in between your teeth which can protect you from getting cavity. No way. So after I eat or drink, anything is a good idea to rinse out my mouth with water. Yes, make sure to spit out the water after renting because swallowing will only bring the germs into your body. Remember, water is an easy and cost effective way to instantly boost your health and a healthy body to fight any diseases. Welcome back. We now join Primers Hutchinson for the NTN Nouvelle of We All.

This is a program that the government and the Ministry of Health and Welfare consider as an international trip to increase the number of vaccination services that have come. This is why I have embraced this program to help us live it. This program is also a part of our work to encourage the stars to visit the country during six-week vacations.

The stars who have visited the country have applied for an application, an arrangement that they have made, after which they have a gymnasium, and then there are companies that have contributed to the transportation services of tourists who have built this place. This initiative has made it possible for these tourists who have participated in this program to find special services for the people who have built this place. These companies are responsible for these stars who have participated in various activities. For example, they have applied for a special treatment. They have visited the country during six-week vacations to encourage the stars to visit the country during six-week vacations.
