Update Mar 15, 10.57am: Shadow Youth, Sport, Community and Culture Michael Weeks said, “On behalf of the PLP, I would like to extend congratulations to each of the 2015 Outstanding Teen Awards recipients. Whitney Houston once sang, ‘I believe the children are our future…” It is through recognizing the accomplishments of our youth,encouraging them in their positive endeavors and supporting them that we shape a better future for our country.
“Most of our young people are doing well, are striving to succeed and are going to be tremendous assets to Bermuda, not just today, but in all the years to come. Our Outstanding Teen Awards recipients represent just a fraction of our youth and the greatness within them. Let us continue to recognize, encourage and support the youth of Bermuda.”
