Revisiting China's poorest village
Liangshan, located in southwestern China’s Sichuan Province, used to be one of the poorest prefectures in the country. Kuijiu is one of the villages rooted here.

The association’s focus is on personal experiences, people-to-people contact, cultural exchanges and exchanges of ideas, and the facilitation of travel, business and study. From the outset we aim to learn from and build on the experiences of the Caribbean and China, and to develop mutual understandings and support that will be to the benefit of both sides.
