Dominican, Kerahia Jno Baptiste, is part of the new executive of the Caribbean Regional Youth Council (CRYC) for the 2015-2017 term.
The new members of the executive were elected virtually on September 19, 2015, but officially assumed office on January 1st, 2016, after a transition period of three months, during which time, the outgoing executive members formally introduced the incoming executive to the organization and its operational procedures.

Congratulations young lady!
So proud of this beauty right there…intelligent lady…been involved with the youth for years.. you go girl!
Congratulations on your appointment.
You are the voice for youths. Could you inform us of what exactly “your voice” does for the Caribbean youths.
These days more youths are getting into trouble. They need guidance and counseling to assist them to stay away from bad company and trouble. How can your organization help them to achieve that and maintain it?
Princess Jno Baptiste, you are very beautiful. All natural beauty. Keep up the natural look.
PEACE
