 The Solution Arts and Craft Expo at Carifesta 14 in Trinidad and Tobago has been making an impact on regional visitors from day one. Rafael Descartes is representing Membet. So far it's been very good. I was setting up and my first customer came. She bought the first bag, I took pictures and all. Interest has been high for Lisa Barton-Volny of the zip code and the clothesline. Well, it has been great because our items are different. Nobody expected to see jewelry out of zippers. Yes, so the response from persons has been great. It's very encouraging. For Terrell Nicholas, the strategy was to use national flags to appeal to a diverse Caribbean audience. The islands participating in Carifesta, I did spoon necklaces with their flags in there. So that has been a big hit. I mean, I made quite a few sales for the morning just for the fact that the flag was in the spoon. You know, one man bought six of them. Jennifer Saint-Louis of Poetry Kisses showcased products made from material that is uniquely St. Lucian. We use a lot of local products. We use shells and stones. Seeds are local seeds as well and a lot of natural materials, especially hemp cord for people with sensitive skin. And so we're always mindful of these things. But I try my best to capture the essence of the island and of the Caribbean around us. Shirley and Edward of Shirley's Creations, a veteran of regional exhibitions, displayed her uniquely created St. Lucian themed Christmas decorations. But I can use something very, very new, which are the balls and cinnamon and local products, which is St. Lucian Creole Christmas. The focus on St. Lucian online entrepreneur Darian-Louis was to bring Caribbean creativity onto one single online platform through Shop the Caribbean. Carifesta provided the perfect setting. And here to showcase our wonderful products from across the region, especially my home and St. Lucian, from craft to sulfur, soaps to virgin coconut oil. Because at Shop the Caribbean we believe that we have some really amazing products across the Caribbean region. But there needs to be a platform whereby collective shopping can be done, consolidation can be done. Darian notes that one of the items on sale through Shop the Caribbean has been driven by visitors to the island. And one of our best products and best movers on the site is the sulfur mud soap, which depicts the sulfur mud from the volcano, which visitors saw after they come to St. Lucian for when they return home. They want that mud feeling and that exfoliating feeling they cannot get. So we've translated this into a mud soap and it has been one of our best movers online since then. The St. Lucian artists at Carifesta are hoping that with days left, they will be a greater interest and more demand for authentic St. Lucian creativity. They are also learning that there is real competition out there. From the Government Information Service, I am Rajvaro Lawrence reporting from Carifesta 14 in Trinidad and Tobago.
