From: Kentish, Florita (FAOSLC)

Dear Colleagues/friends,

This is my penultimate day as FAO-Sub-Regional Coordinator for the Caribbean as I proceed on the journey as an FAO Retiree or as I prefer to call it "Re-treaded".  Why? Because there is still great use to one's life when one retires.  Where there is life there is hope

I am truly excited about the new phase of my life.  Yes, Toby (the love of my life)  and I will be retiring to Anguilla.

I wish to thank all of you for your part in my journey as FAO Sub-Regional Coordinator for the Caribbean.  You have been quite supportive in your many support roles ( be it technical advice, participator, team member, colleague, mentor, confidante, friend, stakeholder, official....)

It was a pleasure interacting with you all and serving the region in this capacity.  I count it a distinct privilege and honour to have done so.  I have given it my all; not for the praise of men but for the development of the region and rural people in particular.

My FAO colleagues (Technical and Admin team in the Sub-Regional Office, the FAO Representatives of the Region and other colleagues in the Regional Office and Head quarters) have all worked beyond the call of duty as true servants of the UN.  Thank you for the continued unflinching support and  acceptance of me.  I appreciate your professionalism, transparency and commitment to quality service.  So continue to deliver in this vane.

To the many consultants, retired experts, retired FAO personnel who have helped me and the team meet some of our goals for the region I must thank you heartily for coming along side us.

To the partnerships with civil society members (particularly CAFAN, Barbados Agriculture Society, Barbados Network of Union of Fisher folk Organizations (BARNUFO) and National Agricultural Associations in the Eastern Carribbean, I am thankful of the way that you have engaged with our Agency in order to assist us in our quest to ensuring sustainability, capacity building and food security in the Region. Similar sentiments to our partner Regional Organizations (CARDI,IICA,CARICOM,CROSQ,CDEMA,OECS.....)

Be sure that I shall continue to be interested in the outcome of Agriculture in our Region.  I shall continue to observe the developments and myself be involved in making things happen.

I will with time share my complete contact details.  However, I can be reached at:

"SANKOFA"
Tanglewood
Forest Estate
Anguilla
