“Education is the most important gift that we can give any child, and to the extent that we can ensure that there is no digital divide between among all of our children that is our duty,” said Mottley.

She added: “Robyn, as usual, thank you. Your Bajanness, your commitment to this country, your commitment to this region in the context of building climate resilience has not gone unnoticed. The world has watched you be that extraordinary Bajan, that extraordinary global citizen that has not forgotten that their roots are right here in Barbados.”
