A Wonderful Caribbean Moment

This is a wonderful Caribbean moment. A wonderful moment along the way of our

development. There have been many such moments over these past decades, but you will all

agree that this afternoon is very special. It is very special because it gives us the opportunity to

give thanks to the architects and the stalwarts who have worked very, very hard over these

decades to establish an institution globally recognized as fine, in every possible way.

We do not take this lightly that Caribbean people have come together with a single

purpose and of single mind to achieve excellence. This is an example of success in the building

of an indigenous institution dedicated to the furtherance of our nationhood and our sovereignty

but it reflects also the confidence of Caribbean people, our commitment and vision for the

children as well as the adults of the region.

It reflects the quality of leadership that this institution has had over these decades, not

only those responsible for the functions of the board but also the managers, the executive and all

workers who have made this institution one in which we are all very proud; but we must also

make special reference to the commitment and dedication of our governments.

We have discussed and approved a number of syllabuses. Some of these are in relation to

contemporary discourse, such as health and nutrition of Caribbean people and we are happy to

report that our children will now be exposed to a syllabus dealing with health and nutrition in

order to address this question of chronic diseases within our communities.
