 A walk for peace in the north of St. Lucia on Sunday was the highlight of activities culminating Youth Month 2023. Minister responsible for youth development and sports, the Honourable Kenson Kazimir, participated in a walk and was happy with the outcome and suggested that it should be replicated in other districts. As a minister, I was really encouraged to see young people coming out to say that we are united to have peace in our community. We are united against crime. We are united against some of the ills that befall our young people in some of the communities in St. Lucia. And so we as a ministry have to decide how often we're going to do this. The conversation has been on whether we should have a quarterly walk, but I don't want to dilute this thing or do it by annually. But I think at the very least annually this can grow into something special in our communities. I love the roots from Marcy's thought of VG and of course the Jazzercise after is something that our young people can enjoy as well. So hopefully we will have more and more participation from persons in the community as it comes to fighting against crime. And as a ministry we can continue to do our part to ensure St. Lucia develops in the right direction. The Gruselais South Youth and Sports Council was one of the entities that mobilized its members to participate in this symbolic venture. A good way to end off youth month and seeing that this year is the year of the youth. I think it was a good initiative for the youth to come out, especially in the time we know in our country right now we're struggling with keeping the peace in the streets. So it was a good way to show, you know, let's to show advocacy for keeping the peace. A good way to end off youth month. For director of youth, Rohan Lubaugh, it turned out to be a wonderful success based on the diverse groups that participated in the work for peace. We invited a number of clubs, sporting groups. We had the Red Cross, we had the Dukers, we had the Cadets. Valley Soccer also represented big. We had Boys Training Center. A number of groups and clubs came on board and we worked from Marcy Mega all the way down to the VG multiple sports complex. When we got to the complex, we had a few information booths and we also organized sporting activities for the individuals. It was a wonderful activity and persons are already asking when is our next work for peace, which hopefully will be very soon. We intend to do one in the south. I would like to thank many persons from the staff at the ministry, NYC, those on the ground who can extremely hard our youth workers and youth officers, my program is a manager, everyone, my communications unit, my sports persons at the ministry as well. I would like to say a big thank you for making this work a success. I mean, there is so much. Lubaugh says the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports will continue spreading the message of peace, love and unity with the aim of making St. Lucia a very peaceful place.
