Listen for yourself in this Trini podcast from the T&T Computer Society. (See podcast #10.)

Supporting Children in La Gonave
- A new Haitian blog, Notre Dame de Guadalupe, popped up out of La Gonave, an island off of Haiti of all places. The first and only post so far was on an event celebrating children's rights. Notre Dame de Guadalupe seems to be a children's oriented NGO based on the island and I added it to the Haiti-based blogroll, at the bottom right of the home page.
