'All of the recent events have really made me think about how the local community (Gringos and Locals) always comes together to support each other when something bad happens. This is a great thing. However, we can do more. There is always strength in numbers. How can we affect change on the island? How can we organize to become a community that is heard? What can we do to force positive change? Many people are truly upset about the tragedy that happened to Joe, but what is being done? I believe if the people on this island work together as a united front, we can make a difference. I have created this group, so that we can get organized to make a difference, instead of just complaining about how things need to change: Let's be the change we want to see in Roatan! Let's come up with an action plan so all of the powers that be, know how our community feels. I am not advocating a mob, but a civil way to make our voice heard. We choose to live here, we can choose to make a difference here as well.'
