On Monday march 29th we will be holding a forum to discuss the on going epidemic in the Caribbean of skin bleaching. In the Caribbean island of Jamaica of 2.6 million people, health authorities say hundreds are skin bleaching and the problem is that many people misuse by overuse skin lightening creams, which are prescribed at low doses to correct uneven pigmentation. This is a growing problem in the West Indies so join us as we raise awareness of the epidemic.
Get ready to join us for a great laugh as we get together for a Caribbean comedy movie night. We all know that Caribbean comedians can have you laughing to the point that you fall off your chair. So come on by on Wednesday March 31st and have a laugh with friends.
