Yesterday, November 15 2022, St Kitts and Nevis Youth Parliament Association attended the Annual Minister’s Youth Forum hosted by the Junior Minister of Youth and the Dept of Youth Empowerment.
The members were able to engage the Minister as well as the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Minister of Agriculture et Al on various issues facing young people and gained a sense of the work done by the different departments. It was also a networking opportunity as present were students, entrepreneurs and members of various groups, corps and youth groups.
Representing the Association were President Mauriel Knight, Vice President Malakhi Ferguson , Treasurer Jalen Monzac and General Members Trosonya Douglas and Ronia Francis.
The St. Kitts National Youth Parliament Association (SKNYPA) joins the Department of Youth and, indeed, the entire Federation in extending condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of the late Shenisia Puran. As a Youth Officer, she regularly engaged with the Executive of SKNYPA and ensured that the involvement of our nation’s young people in national development was a top priority. This task, while never taken lightly was one she embraced with grace, professionalism and a deep sense of dedication.
