CARICOM Youth Ambassador (CYA) of Dominica Dalton Maronie, has been appointed an official Carifesta XI Ambassador at a Carifesta Regional Youth Focus Coordinators Meeting recently held in Suriname.
He joins CYA from across the region who were appointed at the meeting.
CARIFESTA is a multidisciplinary festival that showcases the cultural expressions of artists in over 30 countries in the Caribbean Region.
The Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA), was initiated by the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community in 1972 to celebrate the arts, foster a vision of Caribbean unity and to positively advance Caribbean culture regionally and internationally.
CYA’s presence at the Suriname meeting gave special attention to a Carifesta Youth Village to be built for the festival.
According to Maronie, the Youth Village is meant to create/ simulate a village where only youth organizations or representatives of CARICOM will be allowed to perform. It will comprise 6 components including The Big Stage, Food Court and Lounge, Knowledge Booths, Krutu (meetings/debate on Youth related subjects), Exposure and Movies/Video Exhibition.
The newly appointed Carifesta XI ambassadors are expected to work hand in hand with their CARICOM counterparts, prime ministers, ministers of youth and culture to discuss the necessary preparations and process involved in the staging of the festival.
Carifesta XI will be held in Paramaribo, Surimane on August 16-25, 2013.

But i cannot understand all u.If he could not do the job they would not have appointed him, so what is the roro about there now.
If you had known Dalton well, you would know that there is no roro. Dalton, just keep your head high and continue to make we in Dublanc proud and Dominica by extension. You know how we do it back home, when bad thing happen to our people especially our youths we cry with them and for them, we pray that God will change them, more so when our young people make us proud, (especially the male).We will continue to lift you up to God Dalton and you know we will, just to let you know “No weapon formed against will never prosper”.
CONGRATULATIONS! FROM THE ENTIRE DUBLANC COMMUNITY, YOU HAVE RAISED OUR NOSES HIGHER. WE THANK GOD FOR YOU MUM PAULINE, YOUR GRANDMOTHER WHO DID A SPLENDID JOB IN RAISING YOU AND THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF DUBLANC WHO SUPPORTED YOU 100%
