This political and economic union now has 15 member states throughout the Americas and Atlantic Ocean.

#SomosCaribe

VIII Cumbre #CARICOM-#Cuba, que acoge hoy Barbados, será un reencuentro entre hermanos caribeños para continuar fortaleciendo las relaciones de amistad, respeto, apoyo mutuo, solidaridad y cooperación por el bienestar de nuestros pueblos.

$250 per e-book is absolutely obscene. Browne should either be in school for remedial math or in jail for corruption. If #CARICOM is good for anything, it should sponsor an #OER e-books initiative. https://gemreportunesco.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/an-e-textbook-scandal-rocks-antigua/
