LPM tells youth: “MISTAKES ARE IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS TO LEARN FROM”

The co-chairpersons of The Lucian Peoples Movement, the newest political party in St. Lucia, has called upon the youth to prepare themselves to take their future and that of the country into their hands in order to move their lives and that of St. Lucia forward come the next general election constitutionally due by 2011.
Interim Co Chairman Therold Prudent, in his Independence Day message, told the young people that they should learn from their mistakes and not compound them with further mistakes and blunders.
“You should be fighting poverty wars and not gang wars. You should be shooting down false ideologies with rational and sound arguments and not your fellowman with rifles and shotguns. And you should be killing arrogance, bigotry and injustice in our society and not your brothers and sisters,” he said.
Mr. Prudent told the youth that, ‘It is their time to define the kind of Lucia in which they want their children to live and grow up in. A St. Lucia build on the foundation of moral and ethical values, and one which adopts a non violent approach to problem solving and resolution.”
