"These three street sweepers deserve special recognition. They are the ones who keep the Street leading into our Governor's Office clean everyday. The fair lady starts from the roundabout leading into the Governor's lodge down to the gate leading into the Government House. The other Man (the only male sweeper I've seen) takes it up from there down to Ministry of Social Welfare and Community Development. The other lady takes care of the suroundings of the Dup Process Office. They all recieved their bags of rice with gratitude and prayers to the Donors. Let's give them their flowers now that they are alive. We appreciate the work they do. May God bless them and their families."
