I would like to take this
opportunity to introduce Carnival Babies, a junior carnival band
unlike any other. This initiative is designed to facilitate
innovative workshops, catering to youth groups and underprivileged
children between the ages of 5 and 16 years. The programme is a
unique introduction to the creative traditions of mas making from
design to final production. It also offers the children an
opportunity to experience and play Mas for Carnival. They will
flaunt their presentations at the official Junior Carnival
competitions. The Carnival Babies team was excited to have the
Caparo Police Youth Group as the first member of the program. Eight
(8) workshops were held with these youths for the period 2009 to
2010, of which we had supplied all the necessary materials. The
participants were very receptive and excited to participate in these
workshops. 2012 will be the 3rd year of production.
There were “Feather Fantasy” in 2010 and “Material World” in 2011.
