What happens in the Pacific Ocean can affect our daily lives here in Barbados. With this very strong El Niño, we must prepare for greater heat, the risk of less rainfall and more pressure on our water supply. That is why I have asked the Barbados Water Authority to establish an initial $2 million revolving fund to help households purchase water tanks and repay over time through their water bills. Let us take practical steps now. Conserve water, follow the advisories and look out for each another, especially those who need a helping hand. As I always say, many hands make light work. Join the Barbados Labour Party family this weekend for our Annual Conference as we reflect on the work of the BLP-led administration, its record of service and the priorities shaping our nation’s future.
