Andrews stated, “It is no secret that we are definitely blessed in Turks and Caicos despite everything that we came through, as it relates to two storms, Irma and Maria. We find faith witnessing people put themselves aside and focus on the goal of understanding that there is a much bigger picture here. I think if we continue to approach everything the way we have approached this devastation, I think that we will continue to be successful in Turks and Caicos.”
