President of the Special Olympics Association Ms. Merle Galloway described the afternoon as one that allowed the Special athletes to display their athletic ability. She said, “I’m happy to always give members of the community the opportunity to see what our special athletes can do and realize that they are no different from anybody else and realize that they can make positive contributions to the community.”
Representative of the St. Lucia Civil Service Association and key organizer of the activity Mr. Emmanus Alfred said that the aim of the afternoon’s session was to give the delegates the opportunity to interact with the community groups and encourage them to make positive contributions in the community.
