We dedicated the opening segment of our Sunday night ZOOM public meeting
(14/2/21) to *the memory of Andrea Bharrat*, 22, of T&T, who was kidnapped,
robbed, beaten, murdered and thrown over a precipice in the forest. At her
funeral service in the Faith Assembly Church in Arouca, Andrea was
described as a soft-spoken, brilliant young woman who was learning Hindi,
loved Bollywood movies with their songs and Hindu weddings as well as
Indian food. She was proud of her Indian culture.
*………………………………………………………………………………………………….*
Two Sundays ago (7/2/21) on the topic of *How to find your ancestral family
in India*, we had a packed audience of 97 participants in the virtual room
from all over the world. The number was still skyrocketing but had to be
capped because of the invasion of mischievous Hispanics bearing last names
like Torrres, Sebas, Gonzalez, Polla, Salome and Cacares. They were
identified through our digital data analytics and reported.

Caribbean closer together for intellectual discussions, unity, solidarity
and empowerment every Sunday night on one platform, following the Black
Lives Matter Movement. OUR VISION: To achieve a better understanding and
appreciation of ourselves in seeking to create a diverse, just, equitable
and non-discriminatory society in which Indo-Caribbeans thrive harmoniously
with other ethnic groups.

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
