A WORD OF EXCITMENT FROM ANDERSON CONNELL
On Saturday night I attended the Barbados HIgh Commission's Independence Gala Event in London and to my surprise, I received an Outstanding Community Service Award. It's taken a few days to sink in, but today, I'm honoured and grateful to have receive an Outstanding Community Service Award from the Barbados High Commission, London.
But let me say, the achievement of any Award in my view is always down to the help of others, and in this vain, I thank all who have contributed in some way no matter how little, to my journey thus far, that has seen me achieve this Award. Thank you! Community Service giving without demands or expectations is about one's desire and love for humanity, fairness, equality, and a beleif that we are our brother's keeper.
Now, Saturday's Independence Gala Event was top notched and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone attending.
Top marks to the BHC, London and all staff and the BHC partners for their efforts in bring this event to reality.
Thanks and appreciation to All
