Dame Avisene Carrington was a treasure.
Hers was a life of service and impact. In the 1990s, when the public education system was resistant to accommodating a child with a disability, she was a source of comfort and support for me and my bewildered but persistent parents.

Above all else, people matter.
There are children and adults walking about Barbados today, living ordinary lives and doing extraordinary things, because good policy and dedicated healthcare workers helped protect them from HIV.
That is what our @WHO certification for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV means to me.
To our healthcare workers at every level, thank you. You understood that in a small society, confidentiality builds trust, and that trust helps save lives.
This is why we must always keep people at the centre of our development.
