“I want to use the occasion of Youth Month to enlist the support of the family, the school, the church and the community in helping to sustain the Judeo-Christian values on which our society is founded. The values are coming under threat ““ the values of discipline, hard-work and honesty. I call upon the adults in the society to hold on to these values so that today’s young can lead by example.

We have to maintain our moral and ethical standards to serve as a frame of reference for our young people. The advancement of Nevis depends less on its ability to provide economic benefits and more on its moral and spiritual values,” he said.
