Restoring Hope

“This election is about restoring hope, it’s about how to minimise your expenses versus your income so that you have more disposable income, so the Virgin Islands Party when you vote for us, you’re voting for a party that will do a land bank in every single district where our young people can get their lands to purchase for good prices,” Hon Fahie said told those gathered.

1000 jobs is easy – Hon Fahie

The VIP Chairman also spoke about his plans to create 1000 jobs once in office, “Getting 1000 jobs in 1000 days is not difficult for any government that goes in to work on your behalf, the first thing you have to do is get the economy revived… invest in new industries and also strengthen existing industries. So it’s nothing too difficult to do,” Hon Fahie said.  

The event started at 5:00pm and went throughout the evening. According to the VIP, profits from the sale of food and beverages at the event will be donated to the BVI Cancer Society.
