Fellow Labourers-
As I read the attached article I became a bit fearful. Our stop lights across Jamaica are showing up the underbelly of our society. We are spawning a society of underemployed and unemployed youths that are surfacing like wreckage from a sunken ship. Seeing them make me angry and dejected. I am angry because of the attitude of some of them, and because I can't find an answer to my question, Why? Dejected, because it seems we are hopeless.
Today I saw a set at Three Miles and I was saddened. I drove along Marcus Garvey Drive thinking what can I do. I went to church to pray and after prayer Sister Paulette accompanied me to The MontaMil Golden age home. When we got there I saw 21 volunteers from the SDC in their colours landscaping, painting and assisting with pedicures. Obviously I joined in and did my little bit. Now I have found a part of my answer. We will have to stir up a spirit of volunteerism among our people. We must go beyond the walls in a practical way. Let us all do our part-you in your small corner, and I in mine.
Pax Vobiscum
