Alex Bell from Portland Education working on Cornell Sailing Events Education and Outreach Programme addresses the congregation of Restoration Ministries Church on Britton Hill, St Michael, Barbados.
Members of the 300 strong church community warmly welcomed the idea of connecting with communities along the route of the Barbados 50 Sailing Odyssey in 2016.
Church minister, the Reverend Senator Professor David Durrant said “I am delighted that our church community has embraced this opportunity to spread the message of unity and peace to other communities around the world. It’s a wonderful way to commemorate 50 proud years in our Nation’s history.”
