Dear Editor,
As the wonderful time of the year approaches, a time that’s supposed to be joyful; it’s a bitter one in the lives of the many sugar workers that will be out of a job this December-end. While some are celebrating some are trying to ponder what will happen to their life as the estate is to close.
This is indeed a dark Christmas that will live in the memory of many. Wishes are been crumble, families are troubled about their future; it seems there is no hope.
As a Pandit in this community for years, I have seen how Wales have become a village of broken hearts and promises; persons are been laid off because of no jobs; small shops are threatened because of the economic turn for the worst, and yet this is not all happening: many people are afraid to walk the roadways because of the many robberies.
The closing of the Estate will have an impact on the lives of many, this will be a Christmas to remember, to see tears on the eyes of many workers, to see their families in tears, bring so much trouble to my mind.
Goodbye to the Wales Estate, your memories will be with us forever!
