Damian Wilson, an unemployed recently returned university student, has released a somewhat detailed proposal document entitled ‘Moving Forward: Thoughts on building a better Turks & Caicos’.
‘Moving Forward’ is a comprehensive collection of thoughts on national issues plaguing the Turks & Caicos Islands. It is Damian’s vision what he believes a better TCI could be. It includes discussions on the local political culture, the constitution, the economy, healthcare and education, just to name a few. According to Damian, ‘Moving Forward’ is meant to be a document that hopefully gets people talking about important national issues and not shying away from hard discussions.
“It isn’t a book or a guide but merely a proposal of what I believe the people of this country could do to make the TCI a better place for all,” Damian said. “For far too long we’ve allowed only the elite in this country to shape the national agenda, while the rest of us hide and complain in our little corners, I’m sorry but I don’t want to be relegated to a corner anymore. The voices of young people aren’t being heard.”
Mr. Wilson went on to say that: “God woke me up at 2am one night and told me that I should start writing my thoughts down if I was truly concerned about my country. I started off with only two concerns really; however, eight weeks later it has grown into what you see now. I simply wrote what God laid on my heart. Whether anyone agrees with my thoughts or not, one thing is true, we cannot move forward in this country without confession and forgiveness. I am seriously concerned about the country that our children and grandchildren are going to inherit.”
Damian returned from studying in the UK in December of 2014, after completing a BA (Hons) in Communications, Media and Journalism, and has been unemployed since. He is a husband and father, and says that in such a partisan divided country he expects that there will be some who would want to take issue with him independently speaking his mind; however, God has laid it on his heart to speak.
