At the Awards Ceremony held at the Ocean Terrace Inn (OTI) on November 19, Mr. Hodge addressed those in attendance and said, “With humility, I accept your kind invitation to examine and discuss the theme ‘Positive Male Role Models.’ Many persons, not only here in our Federation but across our region and the world, continue to advance the view that in today’s world we suffer from a severe shortage of male role models.”

Pierre Liburd, Acting Director of Youth Empowerment, commented on the theme, noting that one of the priority goals of the St. Kitts and Nevis Federal Youth Policy, 2017-2022, speaks to preserving the environment.

“The theme centres around environmental awareness, conservation and preservation, and that’s one of the main pillars” of the Policy – getting young people involved in sustainable  development of St. Kitts and Nevis’ natural resources. So it engages them in taking stock of what we have and considering how they would present a message to encourage others to recognize and to preserve it,” he said.
