Invitation to our 114th ICC zoom public meeting by Staff Reporter
The Indo-Caribbean Cultural Centre, with its weekly Sunday ZOOM Public Meetings, has initiated another pioneering and landmark project to visit countries in the Indian Diaspora that have experienced indentureship.
This is another non-profit project intended to bring people in the Indian Diaspora physically together, as well as those interested in Indian Diaspora history, heritage and culture. On Friday, we had more than 55 persons going Nelson Island, which is one of 30 destination sites being visited during our 8-day tour of Trinidad. We have visitors from all over the world with us, including India, Fiji, South Africa, United States, England, Suriname and Guyana. This is truly an international tour of visitors in Trinidad as we speak.
