Good day Virgin Islanders and residents, this is your Premier, Dr Orlando Smith.

It is my pleasure to greet all Virgin Islanders and give another update on the status of education in the Territory as we continue to move forward with rebuilding the education sector following the recent devastation.

Season Greetings to all my fellow Virgin Islanders, residents, friends and visitors.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of The Honourable Omar Wallace Hodge who served his beloved BVI for over thirty (30) years, six (6) of which he served as Minister for Natural Resources and Labour.

In 2017 the Virgin Islands experienced so much pain that ranges from the devastation of two category five hurricanes, to many floods, to the loss of many of our love ones, to the struggles of rebuilding and for most of us, the stress from having to startlife all over again.  

Hello Virgin Islands, I am Marlon Penn… Jr. Minister for Trade Investment Promotions and Consumer Affairs and your Representative for the Eighth District.

Citizens and residents of the Virgin Islands, I am Myron V. Walwyn, Minister for Education and Culture and your Territorial Representative. It is indeed a pleasure for me to wish the entire Virgin Islands – residents and visitors alike - a safe and joyous holiday season. As we remember the love of God this Christmas, I encourage us all to draw from his many examples of selflessness, sacrifice and mercy. 

2017 will go down in the history of the Virgin Islands as being a most memorable year.

A Merry Christmas to all: both residents and visitors of these peace-loving Virgin Islands, particularly my constituents of the Third Electoral District.
