 Minister for Equity, Social Justice and Empowerment, Honourable Joachim Henry, continues to forge ahead with plans to establish a state-of-the-art youth service centre that would cater to the pressing needs of St Lucia's vulnerable youth. The latest intervention occurred last week, and so, Minister Henry, again on the proposed side for the centre, the former George Charles secondary school, which has begun being debauched and cleared as part of a significant retrofitting and transformation to becoming the new and modern centre for youth services, inclusive of education and rehabilitation. This time, a broad cross-section of stakeholders comprised of technical experts like the architect, contractor and personnel from human and social service agencies joined Minister Henry, related non-governmental organisations and women's and children advocates formed part of a comprehensive consultative process to arrive at the best possible ideas in advancing the construction operation and service delivery to the nation's youth. I want to thank all those persons from critical stakeholders, finance, heads of social agencies, young persons like Cherry, Raise Your Voice in the Carpheron cities, and I mean, the persons from overseas who are on Zoom, you know, Clementia Eugene, this was really a rich group of individuals, the head of Adventist Church was there, there's had a lot of people represented across the board to make it a rich thing. Minister Henry says he and the government of St. Lucia remain committed to the transformation of the former George Charles secondary school into a modern and well-staffed national youth service centre that will replace not only the over 60-year-old boys' training centre but will also house institutions like the Upton Gardens Girls' Centre and the new beginnings Transit Home.
