Congratulations to every Yala sons and daughter as you once more celebrate our cultural holiday...
We must zealously guide and promote the values we cherish as we care for the sick, sustain our institutions, support the elderly, feed the hungry, and welcome the stranger, no matter where they come from.
In good times and in periods of hardship the Yala New Yam Festival has always reminded us of our roots; not only who we are , but also what we can be. Every 30th August gather us to celebrate a story that has endured and is endearing to us as a people.
As technology and globalization the world’s cultures and communities ever closer together, the responsibility of each of us to guarantee and protect the well-being of our values must be respected.
That is why in our celebration there is need to protect the different forms of cultural expression, languages, arts, crafts, lifestyles, especially by those in diaspora. Cultural diversity gives our life its richness, its colour and its dynamism.
I wish you all a peaceful New Yam celebration.
Thank You and God bless the Yala nation.
