Keeping the Culture


On Monday july21 a lady from South Caicos came to the youth centre and showed us how to make baskets out of palm tree leaves. She said before you can start to plat the basket, you have to let the palm trees preserve for many weeks. When she began platting the leaves I thought it was easy, but when we began doing it, it was hard! Although we began getting use to it. It was like the more you did it the more you enjoyed it because it is a lot of fun. On Mondays and Thursdays she comes here to interact with us and on those days we go bit by bit in doing the basket. Doing this helps us to get to know one another and spend quality time.
