PLP Chair Thanks Community For Resilience
“”On behalf of the Bermuda Progressive Labour Party, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude that Bermuda was spared the loss of life and extensive damage during Hurricane Ernesto,” PLP Chairperson Dawn Simmons said.
Ms Simmons said, “We are deeply thankful for the resilience and unity displayed by our community in the face of this formidable storm. The swift response and tireless efforts of our Bermuda Police Service, Fire Service, BELCO, Royal Bermuda Regiment, Medical Workers, Emergency Shelter Personnel, and countless other dedicated individuals ensured that our island not only got safely through the storm but was also quickly restored to normalcy.
“We owe them our deepest thanks for their professionalism and sacrifice, working around the clock to protect and serve us all.
“We must also give thanks to the neighbours, family, and friends who, as regular Bermudians, pulled together to help people across our community prepare for the storm and make repairs in the hours after Ernesto left our shores.”
“All of this is a reminder that at our core, as a people, we know as former Premier Alex Scott once said, ‘Bermuda works best when Bermuda works together.’
“The unity we display, whether during a hurricane or even during the recent global pandemic, is a powerful, transformative force that, if we tapped into every day, could further shape, strengthen, and support positive change within our community and help address the collective challenges we face.
“By channelling the same energy, determination, and cooperation into our everyday lives, we can achieve steady progress towards reducing violence in our community, providing opportunities for our young people and helping them to feel included in our community, supporting our seniors, and tackling our housing and cost of living challenges. Each of us has a role to play, whether it is bringing forward ideas for making Bermuda better, giving time towards working to make Bermuda better, or providing support to those in our community in need.
“We know that each of us has busy lives and personal challenges to deal with. But wherever you can, we encourage you to become a greater part of helping our country and our people grow towards its full potential. Whether at your church, your community school, our volunteer organisations, charities, or even your local PLP Constituency Branch, we encourage each of you to give what you can and do what you can wherever you can to contribute towards improving our beautiful island.
“Together, with a shared vision and a collective will, there is nothing we cannot overcome. Let us continue to work hand in hand, not just in times of crisis but every day, to build Bermuda for the future.”

WANT & NEED
Here are two things that many people spend decorating their desparate wish list with .
You can WANT. a million dollars but do you NEED it .
Is WANTING too much Money worse than not having enough ?
Do you really NEED alot of money if so , then you have a problem as to where to spend it on something you think you WANT.
What is the worst thing that can happen to us, could it be that we do not WANTor NEED a catorgory 5 hurricane that would be devastating.
I WANT Bermuda to do better for it self and I NEED somebody to do somthing about it.
If and I WANT some body to do some thing about it will a miracle happen before my very eyes.
We Bermudians are without doubt are the wealthiest people on the planet ,we WANT for nothing and Need
every thing that is if we live in hope, it is the most beautiful place , you could not NEED to wish for more , that is, if you WANT it to be .
