About 12 businesses and service organisations including the Barbados Association of Muslim Ladies, the Barbados Council for the Disabled, Caribbean Youth Environment Network, United Youth Leaders of Barbados, the CARICOM Youth Ambassadors Programme and Junior Chambers International (JCI) Barbados were present to show off their work.

Among the topics under discussion were voluntarism, violence in schools and peer pressure.
