Minister responsible for Community Development on Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel pleaded to parents to commit to ensuring that their children take part in programmes tailored for youth development as they celebrate the 2009 Christmas season.

He sounded the call at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Memorial Square in Charlestown on December 8, under the patronage of Ms. Myrna Webbe, a retired Nurse of Government Road.

“I want to urge your participation and your involvement for the simple reason that if we do this, we will be sure that the kinds of behaviour that leads to crime and drug abuse and violence will be eliminated or significantly reduced from our community,” he said.

Mr. Daniel noted that during the Christmas season, young people and children in all homes should be set on a path that would make the community proud of them.
