And Still I Rise

Tuesday October 27th will mark thirty years of Independence. This year's independence celebrations will see the culmination of The Vincy Homecoming activities. This excerpt from the Vincy Homecoming site explains the rationale . Over the years, we have had a voluntary migration of Vincentians to other lands in search of opportunities to uplift themselves and their families. They have contributed tremendously over the years to our economy in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and so we are extending an invitation to all Vincentians, wherever we reside in this universe, to journey to St. Vincent and the Grenadines during 2009 as we reflect on who we are and to celebrate our achievements.

Vincy Homecoming 2009 presents an opportunity for all Vincentians to rediscover St. Vincent and the Grenadines as we are placing a premium on showcasing our various communities. Thus far this independence month has seen the following

Vincy Homecoming Conferences which took place from 21st to 22nd Oct
23rd October Miss Heritage hosted by the Girls' High School
24th International Music Night
25th Nostalgia( featuring acts who have reunited for this moment)
26th Musical Xtravangaza featuring strictly Vincentian acts

Happy Independence SVG. We still have far to go but I live in hope that the generations to come will get it right.
