Heartbreaking news 💔 I've been hearing from family and friends & seeing the devastation. The Caribbean people are in need of help and support right now!

[The Voice Newspaper @TheVoiceNews]

Reports from the US National Hurricane Centre advise that Hurricane Beryl has intensified into a “potentially catastrophic” Category 5 storm

The storm is headed toward Jamaica after causing damage in Grenada, Carriacou, St Vincent & the Grenadines.

Indian Survival Day is also observed on May 6th in Saint Lucia. The first 301 Indians arrived on this day in 1859 aboard the Palmyra. On June 13th, the Francis Ridley docked at Port Castries after leaving India with 318 persons.

May 5th is Indian Survival Day in Guyana, known officially as “Arrival Day” by the government. When slavery ended in 1834, the British wasted no time in exploiting a new labour force. In British Guiana, indentureship began in 1838 with the Gladstone Experiment by John Gladstone.
