 Shafil and warm holiday wishes to everyone. This is the time of year persons look forward to the most. As a child growing up, it brought many special feelings of joy and anticipation of gifts, toys, new clothes and not forgetting the food and drinks. As a developing country, some things have changed. But this time of year is still very special because of the people we share the holidays with. 2019 has had its challenges, but we can all thank God for seeing us to this point. Special thanks to the people of Kastri Southeast and all Saint Lucians both here and abroad for your love and support. We are progressing in our country, community and people development, but there is still a lot to be done. I will always love and serve you with humility.
