‘Bees’ told: Stay focused, remember values

Prime Minister, Mia Amor Mottley is calling on members of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) to “stay focused”.
She gave this appeal yesterday while addressing the congregation at the Calvary Moravian Church during the BLP’s Founders’ Day Service. The Party marks its 81st anniversary this year.

Mottley further urged members to “remain anchored in those values that inspired not just Grantley Adams, but all who were surrounding him at every stage and at every level and all who came on the journey subsequently. Let us remember… that our journey is not only to bring from along those in the country, but to be able to inspire those who we must bring to help in this journey of the Party. We can sometimes take it for granted, but I ask all of us not to.”

The Prime Minister also reminded the party faithfuls that they have a duty to reach out to all Barbadians. She noted that there are multiple ways in which they have the skills and the capacity to make people’s lives different.

She urged them to “individually, collectively to rise up and to make that difference, to be that difference separately that our country so badly needs, that our people so badly want and that our legacy so much requires of us and if we can do that then we can lift our heads high knowing full well that we are truly on a new journey that [is] anchored in a legacy and a set of values that have been there to inspire so many but shall remain to inspire so many more”.(MG)
