My Caribbean, my island with its natural, glorious beauty, compounded by crime-free God-fearing communities, safe and enjoyable for its people attracting many visitors to its shares… this is a dream, I'm sure, that every Caribbean man, women, boy, and girl has as we approach the new millennium. However in order to make this dream a reality, there are many sacrifices and commitments to be made a lot of work to be done. Let us pledge this pledge for our future. We begin by putting God first in our lives. We go to church, pray, and ask God for guidance. We try our best to do the right thing. We show kindness and concern for each other. We assist the homeless by providing food and shelter and we do favors, not expecting anything in return. We show concern for our neighbors by talking to them and exchanging and sharing ideas. We make a commitment to wipe violence and crime out of our lives and our communities. We pledge to make domestic violence, rape, murder, burglaries, and other crimes a thing of the past. We show pride in our surroundings by keeping them clean. We protect our natural environment as much as possible and care far our animals like we care for each other. We try to preserve our history and keep our culture alive. We try not to be selfish. We share with all people. Finally, we love everybody regardless of skin color, hair texture, nationality, jobs or anything that tends to cause division among people. For this new millennium, this is our Caribbean pledge, our goals in the name of love and with the help of God.
