      I see people saying why they leave Trinidad, Trinidad truly is a great place, we live in paradice. But we so accustomed looking at other beautiful countries that we forget our self.then again, I don't see we pushing that tourism drive. I find every home should work toward being and icon of attraction for outsiders to come and enjoy.

    Country living is the best. No social media allows for the appreciation of community and family values. It is very possible that in the near future, people from the cities will flee to villages like Cumaca to re-learn how to 'live' again. Decent roads and a lil electricity wouldn't hurt though.

      Nothing beats the harmony of living together with other creations in a natural environment. I looked after cattle in the bushes and grasslands. With time I begun to notice things like the intelligence of these creatures. The birds, snakes and many other creatures. You man was given dominion over the creation on this earth but then came along the deceiver who convinced man to accept things like government and monetary systems of all sorts. These things are just ideas. Man is a word controlled creature. Before you control the man you need to trick him into believing the viability and conviction of your ideas. Once that foundation laid then it becomes easier to impose more and more ideas then the rest becomes history. Slowly but gradually introduce fear and the controlling becomes easier. Impose taxes and other undesirables on man and trick him into believing that the taxes, police and the military are good for his safety and protection against non-threats whatever they may be. Ultimately build up enormous weatlth and power for yourself
      and at the same time control the narrative and public opinion through the media which you control. Eventually your man becomes dependent upon you entirely. Remove the knowledge which was tried and tested from him and teach him whatever you want which will make man much easier to control with each passing generation. These are some of the techniques that have been employed against mankind since the begining of man's existence on earth. Teach man to cast spell against himself without him knowing what he is doing. Teach him especially through the english language that the formation of words is spelling and teach him to say those words correctly. Don't teach him that what he is doing is actually casting spells whenever he uses those words. A simple example is time. Time comes from two syllables: ti and me. Phonetically ti comes from t and i combining the two sounds it sounds as tie the meaning of which is a bond. When you combine the ti and me it sounds tie and me which is tie; me, tie me! This time is a very good spell which at a sub-conscious level or spirit level is self bondage. Teach man to learn spelling and keeping time at an early age to make controlling the entirety of his life a much easier venture. Man becomes a selfbonding and spell casting creature without knowing it. Do not teach the man that he is one w with the all and that the path to the all is within himself and through contemplation and meditation man connects with the source of it all. Make man ignorant of such truths by teaching him false beliefs, encourage the use fornication to dissipate his creative energy and abilities, give him entertainment through sport, music and film, encourage man to use chemicals which are poisons but don't tell their true effects on his body and spirit. Call them medicine and it is the doctor who will give him the correct ones. Do not tell man that whatever man needs to stay healthy, strong and live long is readily available in nature's bounty! Destroy such knowledge generation after generation and eventually man becomes a slave imprisoned by an illusion created by the controlling entities. Meanwhile the designers of this prison system quietely take control of the resources that belong to mankind without him seeing what is happening. This my friend is where we are standing. Those who see this illusion are villified as mad!

The lady who spoke last is so humble and at ease with the situation having spent most of her life there, that she is okay with ‘stream water’. That’s not okay. As a Trinidadian this hurts.

      Not too sure the authorities will care too much about this effort. They have never done anything to improve these facilities in these valuable sites to encourage local and International tourism. But they keep talking about it since independence. All they focus on is the 3 leading beaches but no ecological appreciation. Age old trees in the gardens and in the Savannah are cut down due to lack of appreciable attention,- allowing termites and fungus to overtake them. The trails for these places should be made more functional and safe for everyone. What a pity.

    Thank for putting the spotlight on the Village of Cumaca, I used to visit that place back in the seventies and early eighties and I must say its still beautiful. I think that the villagers deserve to have the most basic amenities Good Road, Lights, and water. Hopefully now that the plight of the people has been brought to the attention of those in authority something can be done. Wishing you all the best.

      Preach! if ppl only knew. People get so mad at the truth.But its hard to let go of what you have been taught from day 1 in school. It's the same in North America but the older generation can't let go of the out of Africa theory. How does dark chocolate ppl become Pale Caucasian Asian ppl in modern day less than 100 years? If we are from Africa, how did our population get so large? But no one ask questions they except it since they refuse to research or listen to their spirit. Dark ppl occupied every inch of this planet and it time to reclaim your inheritance.

      WE were HERE BEFORE Columbus, "slave trade", etc Whomever mentions "Africa"...we were here in the America's long before. I have Native American" friends who look just like me -- who can tell you their long lineage, traditions, etc; they don't know about Africa. Be careful!! Thats right...you speak the truth my friend!

    I have mixed feeling on this because progress sometimes bring more problems that simple living. Look at that 77 year old woman I know people in their fifties dont look so alive. I sure she don’t take a pill.

      I as well don't think she takes pills, when I was there, I did ask about some of the hubs because some wanted and she got a lot for all different illnesses, she knows her stuff.

    Beautiful editing, this video really breaks my heart hearing these villagers talk. I really hope this video reaches out to the prime minister, and they could feel the feelings that i'm feeling and they could really assist these people to get lights, water and a good road.
    Imagine you voting a party and they ain't business about you or to develop areas in trinidad. What's the sense voting.
