A GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE has been challenged to help end the wave of violence that is sweeping across Barbados.

Speaking at the first combined graduation for the programmes offered through the Division of Youth at the Gymnasium of the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex on Saturday evening, Minister of Culture, Sport and Youth Stephen Lashley urged the graduands to be a part of the solution.

“I call this evening for the full engagement of all our young people. I call for the return of tried and tested values. I call for the end of violence in all of its forms, and for the graduands who are a part of this evening’s celebrations to be the champions of transforming our communities . . . .” (YB)
