The participants were also trained in various art works.

The fifty participants who completed this program included 22 men and 28 women.
The program forms part of the activities being implemented by the Ministry of Kalinago Upliftment targeting social and behavioural change with a focus on child protection in the Kalinago Territory.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
