The Foundation had the opportunity to work with the Museum of London Docklands by making an educational input to their weekend family event ‘Hello London Hello Barbados’. This was a family weekend festival to mark 50 years of Barbadian independence, our exhibition banners and film ‘Crossing the Seas’ was well received and many positive comments were made.
