Congratulations to you, young Miss McDougall, on your ascension to the apex position of the National Youth Council. I hope your presidency would be replete with lots of success.
Let me now dovetail into something that troubles me. Not every young Dominican is academically inclined. Therefore, opportunities MUST be created for those youngsters who are challenged academically.
Usain Bolt (Jamaica), Lavern Spencer (St. Lucia) and Kim Collins (St. Kitts-Nevis) have eek out a comfortable living for themselves from excelling at Track & Field. These persons were not top students at school.
All these countries have an international tract and field stadium. Those young men and women can use these fitting facilities to work on and improve their Gad given athletic abilities and make something great of themselves. In Dominica they are doomed or at a serious disadvantage due to the lack of adequate sporting facilities.
Skerrit, stop short changing our best resources, the youths.
