Inclusion Fusion is part of the Digicel Foundation's Carnival inclusion programme, which promotes a truly inclusive Carnival experience with no barriers or limits due to ability.  The premium experience was extended to Digicel staff and partners with and without disabilities to revel in the musical performances and enjoy the Carnival season together.
