Let us take some time to understand that in the midst of a perfect storm there is still hope. The youths here today, I must say have pretty much defied all odds and have emerged amongst the best of the best to which have been nominated for Dominica's National Youth Awards. I am not sure how you guys feel about this but we, at BrBpTV.com, feel absolutely blessed to have been apart of the ceremony. The powerful talents of the youth were not only applauded but it was also promoted and highlighted at the Award Ceremony.
The Youth Awards was held at the newly designed auditorium at the Dominica State College and in dynamic fashion, the first event of this being held was a true success. Make no bones about it that Youth awards do take place on a National level but the National Youth Council of Dominica saw it fit to take it even a step further were more talented individuals were granted awards in a wider variety of skills. There were just about 60 nominees for this years awards and they came from many different walks of life from all over the Nature Isle of the Caribbean. This is something that is indeed a great step forward in the positive direction especially when we see mainstream news most broadcasting negativism. It's time for a continuous growth in the country where we highlight and further push our youths in doing better, more productive things. With the individuals and nominees present it is indeed great progression as all the seats were packed waiting to see who will win in the respective categories. Make no mistake about this my friends, you are never too young or even too disabled to make an impact in your community. Take a listen to what went down in the Webisode below.
