POS mayor calls on citizens to show more love

Speaking yesterday at the Brian Lara Promenade at the launch of Love you can Feel, an initiative of the University of the Southern Caribbean (USC), Martinez said, “Several other countries are experiencing the vulnerability and erosion of the peace, oneness and love that once permeated our lovely twin-island State.” He said the programme was designed to give participants a chance to show love and care for their neighbours and communities, rekindle spiritual counselling, health and wellness consultations, combined with nutritional consultations and education across the country. He called the USC students champions saying that they had the winning strategy of using love.

He noted that the university was celebrating its 90th anniversary, proving that it had stood the test of time. Martinez thanked the USC for having the vision and foresight to initiate the programme saying that its timing could not be better.

Martinez said citizens are living in challenging, fearful and perilous times but but is encouraging all to keep the faith.

“We must all continue to be our brother’s keeper,” he said. He said programmes such as Love you can Feel are what “Will allow healing and connectivity amongst people and bring back that love to care for and protect and to take social responsibility for each other.” He said people must overcome their human impulses to marginalise, physically mistreat and mentally hurt or oppress their brothers and sisters
