The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) through the Ministry of Social Development, launched the Community Cohesion Initiative on September 24 at the Ministry of Trade’s conference room. The programme was designed to reduce the level of anti social behaviour among youths in the community and to coordinate the development of meaningful dialogue between various communities, groups and the government.

Minister with responsibility for Social Transformation on Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel, looked at the evidence to support the development of the programme. He stated that the Counseling Unit of the Department of Social Services had indicated that many persons who were involved with the law or conflict, their difficulties had flowed from family issues, so that type of intervention was an important step to address the situation.

Director of the programme is Mr. Abdu Kareem Ahmed who gave some insight into its establishment.

St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas message to the students of the Charlestown Secondary School and the Gingerland Secondary School in Nevis was similar to that given to schools on St. Kitts.

“Shun the challenges that we face from those who encourage you to get into gangs and behave badly, committing crime and becoming violent, you can only prepare yourself properly to be productive citizens and for leadership if you will shun the negative things that can lead to your personal destruction and the overall collective destruction of our country.”

His visit to both schools on the sister island was one of several activities that marked the twin-island Federation’s 25th Anniversary of Independence which is being observed with the theme: “Pride, Development, Progress – INDEPENDENCE – 25 years of Success.”

“What role must you must play if you are going to sustain that independence for future generations after you. What role must you play today and how must you prepare yourself if you are to sustain what we have achieved for the next generation, for the next 25 years,” the Prime Minister told Charlestown Secondary School Fifth and Sixth Formers and the entire student body of the Gingerland Secondary School.

The Ministry of Tourism, Sports and Culture is set to employ new techniques to promote positive behaviour and peaceful attitudes in the young people of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Director of Sports Dave Connor got firsthand knowledge of these methods while participating in the three-day UNESCO Congress on Sports for Peace and Development held in Jamaica.

Director Connor told SKNIS that the September 13 to 16 meeting was extremely productive, as he joined with representatives from approximately 22 countries in the Caribbean, Europe, South America, Africa and Asia, to discuss and highlight pertinent issues regarding sports as a vehicle to promote peace and development.

As such, discussions surrounded presentations by various international organizations and committees to review the issues coming out of the recent round table held in Zanzibar, Tanzania, to reflect on the theme “Sport for Development and Peace”, and its role within a multi-sectoral approach.
