I am elated to stand before you today at the first-ever British Virgin Islands Electricity Corporation (BVIEC) Career Expo. This event marks a significant milestone not only for the British Virgin Islands Electricity Corporation but also for our entire community as we gather to celebrate opportunities, growth, and the bright futures that lie ahead for each one of you this morning.
Allow me to recognise the Acting Premier, Honourable Julian Frazer, Junior Minister for Tourism, Honourable Luce Hodge-Smith, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Communications and Works, Mrs. Elvia Smith-Maduro.
Today, on 19 November, we unite to observe World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse - a day that calls us to pause, reflect, and take bold action to protect the youngest and most vulnerable members of our community: our children.
