Happy Father's Day 💙
Today, we celebrate the fathers and father figures whose love, guidance, sacrifice and presence help shape stronger families and communities across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Whether as dads, grandfathers, foster fathers, stepfathers, uncles, mentors or caregivers, your impact reaches far beyond the home and into the heart of our nation.
Happy Father's Day from The Honourable Laverne Gibson-Velox and the staff of the Ministry of the Family, Gender Affairs, Persons with Disabilities, Local Government and Labour. 💙
