The Digicel Foundation hosted Inclusion Fusion, an inclusive Carnival event for people with and without disabilities.

The event is part of the foundation's Carnival inclusion programme, which promotes a truly inclusive Carnival experience with no barriers or limits due to ability, a media release said.

“We can all agree that persons with disabilities deserve to party for Carnival, just like everyone else!” said Digicel Foundation brand ambassador DJ Joe O’Brien in a social media post last week to promote the event as an opportunity for all, the release said.

The Digicel Foundation said it remains steadfast in its commitment to promoting equal opportunities for people in Trinidad and Tobago.
