Minister for Commerce, Manufacturing, Business Development, Cooperatives, and Consumer Affairs and parliamentary representative for Soufriere/Fond St. Jacques Emma Hippolyte has urged parents in her constituency to instill spirituality in their children and put God first.
The minister’s comments came last week during a pre-cabinet press briefing, as she spoke on Government support for parents under the school assistance programme.
Minister Hippolyte said the programme distributed cheques to over two hundred parents in her constituency.
Parents with one child received EC$300, two EC$500, and three children and more EC$700.
“The issue of education is critical for us, it is through education that we are going to move our people from poverty,” Hippolyte said.
“But in my conversation with the parents I took a moment to exhort them to remind them that the Government is doing all of this, putting the environment in place for our children to learn, but there is also another part to that, want is happening in our homes,” she went on to say.
“Our parents must try to discipline and bring spirituality in the homes, because if it is not in the home, then it becomes a challenge in the school system, because by the time the children get on to the school system, you have already shaped them,” Hippolyte observed.
” Their little minds and brains are already shaped in one direction, so we have to do a lot more work within the homes to change what is happening on the ground, because when your mind is shaped properly, you do not participate in the crime outside,” Hippolyte said

The Soufriere/Fond St. Jacques MP wished her constituents and Saint Lucia well, adding, “I want to say, always put God first.”
So if you have more kids you get less per child but the government/cmo will tell people to have more children. smh
Yes, putting money in the hands of parents and educating the children is the way forward. But you can pray all you want, you can howl any number of hail Mary’s, you can speak in tongues of gibberish which no one understands, it won’t change or make a struggling family’s life any easier. This has been tried for centuries and it makes no difference. People want real solutions, to their real problems, not hopeless, worthless pleading to a sky god. Based on the issues we have in Saint Lucia and by extension globally it’s quite obvious a sky god ain’t worth NADA, cause it ain’t listening, perhaps it can’t hear, It ain’t hearing perhaps it is deaf, it ain’t helping, perhaps it is useless and impotent. Well by the looks of it, the sky god just ain’t there. il n’exist Pas…
Thanks for the grâce of giving❗
The word of the LORD came to me,
“Set your face against the mockers blasphèmers..
What is your burden ?
I will send a curse upon them says the LORD Almighty..
I will send a curse upon them and and curse their blessings..
Yes I have already curse them ❗
I am certified that God is truthful for the one who speaks the word of God..
Do not let your mouth deceive you and mislead you to protest against God’s Messenger,
Let the mockers and blasphèmers free themselves from the hand of the hunter, like a gazelle caught, like a thief where they are by unjust deeds, like one who depends on La CAF with illigitimate offspring,
Should be remember how far they came from close to the grave, which while yet alived was pronounced dead ‼️
God’s wrath will remain on them, never to see life nor will have no descendants to bear their name..
