So our parliament session has been pushed back to the 8 of May. This is due to the national budget being held during that same week. I am not disappointed I have more time to prepare my speech. I am really looking forward to this years session AI think or rather hope that it will be the best youth parliament ever.

I am no longer a minister. I am now a senator. I get to speak on whatever issue relating to poverty that I like so i am here trying to come up with something. I am completely lost. I am leaning to the effects of poverty on the HIV/AIDS rate or on Education. Not sure yet. I have to have a speech tomorrow mind you. So I am Here probably for the entire night.

So this month is youth moonth in St. Lucia and as part of our annual youth month activities the Annual Youth Parliament sitting will be held on the 26 of April. I was selected to be one of the parliamentarians. We are to debate a resolution "that the government of St. Lucia should invest all necessary resources in a sustained attack on poverty with the aim of providing better life chances for our youth and the opportunity for them to participate meaningfully in and thereby accelerate National Development." What say you?Wish me luck.......

Today is or was my birthday. I didn't do much. Had a long day at the office. Went home and tried to relax for a while before I studied. Maybe I'll do something on the weekend.
