At the Ital in Paradise restaurant on St. Croix, Teri Helenese met with UVI Professor Dr. Chenzira Kahina to discuss the critical intersections between CARICOM and the Virgin Islands (UVI). During their conversation, they addressed the urgent need for 5,000 additional workers to bolster ongoing recovery efforts in the USVI. This dialogue underscores Teri’s commitment to her work and the USVI’s Voice in CARICOM, where she is dedicated to developing policies that elevate the Virgin Islands’ status as a Technical Cooperation Member.
