Kudos for Laventillians

THE EDITOR: Congratulations to the organisers of the conference for the eradication of crime in Laventille. The effort certainly recognises our community resolve to firmly deal with the crime situation that has thrown Laventille further down the social ladder. I attended the opening session of the conference organised by the Ad Hoc committee For The Eradication Of Crime In Laventille (ACECL), and I must say I could not tell whether I was attending a CARICOM high profile meeting or one organised by Laventillians, so impressive was the organisation and delivery of materials, supported by multi-media displays. I mean it was excellent.

Who says all is lost with Laventille, has to think again. The community saw the problem and decided to do something tangible about it. I have no doubt, especially with the high level of organisation I witnessed, that the conference organisers will achieve their goal for a crime free Laventille. Oh how I wish Mr Fitzgerald Hinds and Ms Eulalie James were there. But I am sure that they will reap the benefits of this most timely event.
