In memory of last week’s latest kidnapped and murdered victim from Trinidad
and Tobago, *Andrea Bharatt*, 22, we feature her video which was done as an
Anthropology class assignment at UWI.
Her mother died when she was 5 years old and she was the only child of her
father. This angel was a tiny, sickly child who always stayed at home when
not at school or work.
The nation is heartbroken, and millions of people are in grief with tears
flowing all over the world. We offer our sincere condolences to her family
for their loss, a loss also to the country and the universe.
SEE her talent as a budding filmmaker, scriptwriter, interviewer and
narrator, and hear her voice in the video project.
