Our faith will see us through this difficult time

THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME for the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We have been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic for almost a year, an outbreak of dengue fever, an effusive eruption of La Soufrière and we are now hearing that a wave of Sahara Dust is heading in our direction. When it rains it really pours.
I played an active role in the response to COVID-19 and dengue fever while I was in office as the Minister of Health, Wellness and the Environment. It was an honour for me to serve my nation in that capacity at a time of serious challenges. I handed over the reins of the Ministry to a capable successor – the Honourable St.Clair “Jimmy” Prince. I have every confidence in him and the government.
