On this Mother’s Day, I want to recognize all the wonderful mothers and mother figures in the U.S. Virgin Islands for their daily commitment and unrelenting love, support, and guidance especially to my mother, Carmen Barreiros.

Mothers are a guiding light in our lives and are the bedrock of the Virgin Islands families. I encourage all to join me in sharing our love and gratitude to those mothers and mother figures for everything they have done and continue to do. Happy Mother’s Day.

First Lady Yolanda Bryan and local author Torehera Durand hosted more than 20 second graders from St. Croix's Juanita Gardine School for the Inaugural First Lady Easter Read A-Loud at Government House.

Second graders from all three islands saw and heard Torehera Durand read from her book, "How Anansi Spun Madras" (with illustrations by Eduardo Puba), followed by the First Lady's reading of "How to Catch the Easter Bunny."

After the readings the students received Easter goody-bags. A hopping good time was had by all.

Last week I participated in one of the Division of Personnel’s GVI Wellness activities “Garden to Table.” The two-day workshop offered attendees “how to” gardening tips to include, but not limited to, understanding seedling germination by climate and region, soil preparation, gardening in pots (and recyclable containers), vertical gardens, and ground, best sunlight for types of plants grown in the Caribbean region, fertilizer vs. plant food, appropriate spacing between plants, irrigation methods, garden pests control and so much more.
A special note of thanks to Director Cindy Richardson and her team (Ms. Martin and Ms. Estrill, on St. Croix) at the Division of Personnel for providing resources and engagements for the overall better health of all employees of the Government of the Virgin Islands, GVI Retirees and community overall!
Special thank you to former Commissioner of Agriculture, Carlos Robles, for providing informative and engaging session which culminated with hands-on planting of eggplant, collard green and beet seedlings.
The GVI Wellness programs are managed by the Division of Personnel’s Group Health Insurance Unit which manages and maintains medical, dental, and life insurance benefits for employees and retirees of the GVI.”
In good health,
First Lady Yolanda Bryan
