berdadero inspiracion”, cu e palabranan aki Prome Minister di Turks & Caicos, Sharlene

Cartwright a presenta ex Prome Minister Mike Eman pa hiba e discurso principal na e

evento “Building for the future to protect the past” na Providenciales, Turks & Caicos

Islands.

Ex Prome Minister Mike Eman a acapara e curason di e sala completo na momento cu el

a compara e palabranan di e himno di Turks & Caicos y esunnan di Aruba. Eman a cita:

“O we salute this land of ours, Our country we declare, This promise land with its

beauties grand, Though small ..it is our own”

Nos ta canta cu e mesun orguoyo, Eman a bisa, citando tambe e Himno di Aruba: This

pride and love for a rock that reflects in the lyrics of the National Anthem of Turks and

Caicos Islands we sing with the same pride and love for our country in Aruba: “You may

be small and simple, but yet you are respected, Oh .. dear country, our rock so beloved,

our love for you is so strong, that nothing can destroy it”.

Ex Prome Minister a expresa cu e similaridad aki ta mustra e amor comparti cu nos tin pa

nos islanan: “That is part of our National Anthem. So you can understand how much I

can identify with you the people of Turks & Caicos, sharing this unique sense of love for

our small, but venerated cradles, in this big world. This love, affection and bond we have

with our Islands stem from the heritage we came here tonight to preserve and to be our

guidance in managing our present and the bedrock of the principles on which we have to

build our future”.
