The next decade....what's in store?

I'm now free to roam (officially)

Applied for my Certificate of Recognition of Caribbean Community SKills a few weeks ago. Went and collected it yesterday.

The Caribbean Community (Free Movement of Skilled Persons) Act, 1997 has certain requirements for you to be recognized as a skilled person. One of them is you had to attend the University of the West Indies, or University of Guyana and I guess some more regional universities have been added. I'm not sure if they have now included Caricom Nationals who went to university abroad.

Part of it says

I Horace W Dalley, the Minister, in exercise of the power conferred upon me by the said Act, hereby grant to the said Yamfoot this Certificate of Recognition of Caribbean Community Skills.

I remember when the announcement was first made in 1995, of the intent to enact this piece of legislation. A green light went off in my head, for I had always seen myself as a roamer from ever since. Then I went to Grenada on holiday that same year, and decided that was where I was going to roam to. Two years later it happened, and it was one of the best things I ever did.

So more roaming going to go on. Not that I haven't been roaming since 1997, but now, it's official!
