IT IS NOT easy going for Daniel DeSouza but he is not prepared to give up yet.

The founder of cariblime.net, a social media platform geared towards Caribbean people, said the support was not there yet and he finds this slightly puzzling.

Cariblime has not been around that long, having launched in April, but the offerings are already distinctly Caribbean and DeSouza is wondering if people were even aware it existed.

“We do have more subscribers than before, more than 150 now, but we are still lacking that support from the local and regional organisations or from Government, I don’t know if they even know we exist. Besides, 150 in a Caribbean of more than eight million people is hardly anything,” he said. (CA)
