World Immunization Week Celebrated in the last week of April each year – aims to highlight the collective action needed to ensure that every person is protected from vaccine-preventable diseases and to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. We share some pictures of our work to raise awareness of the part that vaccines play in saving lives — as well as of the critical need to continue supporting global polio vaccination for children and other life-saving vaccines for all. Because of Vaccinations many diseases have been eradic  ated locally. Trinidad and Tobago recorded its last case of mumps in 2006, measles in 1997, rubella in 1997, yellow fever in 1979 and Polio in 1972. #rotaryshares #district7030 #endpolio #ImagineRotary #RCPT

Scholarship Awards, Induction Ceremony and DG and AG visit… The Rotary Club of Princes Town hosted its Thirtieth Annual Scholarship Award Ceremony on 16th January 2023 at Canton Palace. This year the Club took the sterling opportunity to showcase its project to the visiting District Governor, Mr. Leslie Ramdhanny of Greneda and Assistant District Governor, Mr. Brian Ramatally and further maximized the opportunity by inducting a new Rotarian, Ms. Kimberly Ramlochan. This Scholarship Project has been part of the club’s legacy since its charter on 07th May 1993 and has awarded in excess of $1 million since then. Funded by the net proceeds of its annual Chokhafest fundraiser, scholarships applications are received and vetted towards providing financial assistance to deserving students aged 16-24. The process examines students’ course selection, academic proficiency, social circumstances and the likelihood of the student returning skills to the upliftment of their families and communities. In alignment with Rotary’s areas of focus, this Scholarship Project seeks to meaningfully contribute to providing opportunities for education by investing into the development of the skills and talents of young people within the radius of the Rotary Club’s service. However, over the years, deserving students across the nation, enrolled in various areas of learning at local and international tertiary institutions have applied and were awarded scholarships. At this year’s award ceremony, nine students received awards and the club sought to provide a gala experience for all present. Not only was an exquisite dinner served but the glamour of the evening was highlighted by the remarkable talents of eleven-year-old Arya McCleod, a student of the Ebony Edwards Steelpan Academy and twelve-year-old pianist, Jaedon Roberts of St. Stephen’s College. The feature speaker, District Governor, Mr. Leslie Ramdhanny, an exemplary Rotarian with a wealth of knowledge and experience, took the opportunity to inspire the youth to never limit their imaginations and encouraged them to adopt the Rotary ideal of service above self. Rotary Clubs adopt the passion, energy, and intelligence of their members to action sustainable projects towards positively impacting change in communities. The global network has made tremendous strides in advancing the understanding of peace, the improvement of health and provision of quality education. The Rotary Club of Princes Town is ever welcoming to new members, volunteers, and donations. Further information is available on all social media platforms and through any club member. The Club’s major fundraiser is its Annual Golf Tournament which is carded for 05th March 2023 and invites corporate sponsorship. #rotaryserves #scholarshipawards #district7030 #awardees #induction #newmember #DG #AG

DIVALI PROGRAM AT NIA VALLEY, PRINCES TOWN On the evening of October 19th, 2022, the members of the Rotary Club of Princes Town held its Divali Celebrations at the Nia Valley Estate in Princes Town. It was a time of fellowship celebrating the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. The ceremony was appropriately commenced with a prayer by Pundit Surendra Maharaj of the Corinth Lakshmi Saraswati Mandir followed by the lighting of the first deya by President Rudy and subsequent lighting and laying out of deyas by the members. It was a lovely ceremony filled with entertainment by the renowned Pannist and music composer, Mr Amrit Samaroo opening with the national anthem and finishing with two beautiful Indian cultural renditions. The festivities continued with three Indian dance items done at various intervals by the talented young ladies belonging to the Krishna Kala Dance Academy. Certainly one of the treats for the evening was Mrs. Tricia Ramdhan Seepersad, who performed various melodious bhajans throughout the program. The feature address was brought by Pundit Maharaj, whose discourse focused on the meaning of Divali and the inclusivity of all Trinbagonians understanding the cultural as opposed to religious aspect. This message was well-received and appreciated by all. One of the major attractions also held was the Pick-a-Kalsa segment: the winners of which were Performer Tricia Ramdhan Seepersad, Rotarian Leeshel Harrison and Rotarian Justin Girdharrie in that order. Door prizes were also given out to one lucky attendee. Finally, before the closure, a mini fashion show was held to determine the Divali Raja and Rani (King and Queen). The 2022-2023 winners were Raja Villon Stanley and Rani Leeshel Harrison! Congratulations on your year long reign. A mouth-watering traditional Divali m  eal inclusive of paratha roti, channa and aloo, pumpkin, chataigne, mango amchar and mother-in-law was enjoyed by all patrons and the dessert was the most delectable sweet bag of kurma, gulab jamoon and barfi. Amazing! The Rotary Club of Princes Town acknowledges the support of the Princes Town Regional Corporation Chairman Mr. Gowrie Roopnarine, whose attendance at our events never goes unnoticed. We thank the persons who were instrumental in pulling off this successful event seamlessly, namely IPP Rishi Ramlogan and PIS Nadira, as well as President Rudranath Maraj and PIS Parbaty. We would like to wish you all a Shubh Divali 2022 from the members of the Rotary Club of Princes Town and may light overcome darkness in each of your lives. #rotaryserves #rotary #divali #program #celebrations #fellowship #district7030

A most enlightening experience indeed! The meeting transitioned into the second segment with a discussion on Breast C  ancer Screening done by Dr. Ronald Gobin, a charter Rotarian of the RCPT. He impressed upon the members the importance of self breast exams and other screening methods used in Detection of breast lumps and other breast diseases.

 In recent years, the Rotary Club of Princes Town, in collaboration with other Rotary Clubs across the District 7030 dispora and worldwide have been working towards building and fostering a culture of peace through its various service initiatives and volunteer efforts. Our club particularly recognizes the significant resource gap for global peace and peace building particularly among our youths in today’s society. The Club foresees that it can fill that gap through peace programming and supporting initiatives such as peace education, which it views as the foundation for lasting peace and national cooperation. The Club believes that by providing our youths with access to the skills, attitudes and behaviors for building better relationships and transforming conflicts is key for lasting peace. In commemoration of International World Peace Day on the 21st September, 2022, and bearing in mind our Club’s goals of peacebuilding, our Club hosted its “2022 Youth Peace Day Symposium: “Making Schools Safe for Students through Peace Education” on Wednesday 21st September 2022 at the Tableland Secondary school, to educate and provide students with the knowledge to appreciate conflicts and strategies to resolve said conflicts. This peace seminar was conducted by inspirational and motivational speaker, Mr. Don La Foucade, who brought the message of peace and education on effective strategies and tools to resolve conflict and foster peace building among upper school students. Approximately 150 students and their teachers benefitted from this Inspirational, and highly interactive speaker. Mr Don reminded the students that “Someone's opinion of you does not determine your future.” His thoughts on the word PEACE? “Please End a Conflict Early.” Mr. La Foucade also spent some time speaking to students on a one-to-one basis afterwards. Thanks to Principal Mrs. Jackson, President Rudranath Maraj, Past President Jamir Ousman, Past President Capildeo Beharry, Director Justin Girdharrie and Rotarian Mark John. #rotarydistrict7030 #ServeToChangeLives #RotaryShares #ServiceAboveSelf #InternationalDayOfPeace

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.” – Sonia Johnson It is on this premise that we base our Scholarship Awards. Our annual Scholarship Awards Programme allows us the opportunity to support a group of young people each year in pursuit of tertiary education who are deemed deserving of financial aid. We believe that we cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future, as stated by F. Roosevelt. It has been the first time in two years, since the onset of the Pandemic that the Club has been able to host this Ceremony in its true form and our members were thrilled for the occasion. On Thursday 26th May 2022, the Rotary Club of Princes Town held its annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony at JR&D Convention Centre in Princes Town. A total of five Scholarships were awarded to deserving students enrolled in various areas of study in tertiary institutions both locally and internationally. This venture is funded solely by the Club’s annual Chokhafest fundraiser. This particular undertaking was additionally made possible due to a generous donation to our Chokhafest expenses by the Republic Bank Limited, Princes Town Branch. A packed but exciting programme featuring Mr. Rishi Ramlogan, President of the RCPT, Mr. Timothy Bailey, President of the Steel Workers Union of Trinidad and Tobago and entrepreneur and Mrs. Nalini Rattan representative of RBL was enjoyed by a crowd of students, parents, Rotarians and partners-in-service. Mr. Bailey, in all his youth and vibrancy brought the feature address, encouraging students to follow their dreams, making the point that no matter the path you choose, you must always do your best and you will succeed. Awards were presented to: Akasia Lynn Augustine – Bachelor of Law, UWI Cavehill Dymond Magloire – Associate Degree in Social Work, CoSTAATT Kenya Toisann Augustine – BSc Health Sciences, Howard University Makeisha Simon – MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) UWI, St Augustine Sabrina Soogrimsingh – Associate Degree General Nursing, CoSTAATT We know that our future will be well taken care of because by assisting these cherished individuals, we aim to chart a course of history we will be proud of! #scholarship #education #chokhafest #youth #servetochangelives #rotaryshares #rotarydistrict7030 #serviceaboveself

April 22 is Earth Day and we at the Rotary Club of Princes Town were determined more than ever to do our part in supporting Rotary’s 7th Pillar of Focus (Supporting the Environment). The goal of the Earth Day Challenge was simple – RECYCLE as much as possible! Two weeks prior to Earth Day, we were challenged to recycle as much as possible to raise an awareness of how much we recycle instead of throwing away and in so doing encourage us to be more mindful of the impact of our choices on the environment. Special focus was placed on plastic bottles which are of particular concern as they make up a larger part of recyclable materials that ends up in landfills. Other items were aluminium cans, tin cans, aerosol cans, tetra packs and cardboard. #earthday #savetheenvironment #savetheearth #supporttheenvironment #recycle #rotarydistrict7030 #rotaryshares #servetochangelives #rotaryinternational

On March 8 2022, in commemoration of International Women’s Day, our Club was privileged to have as our guest speaker, Senator Jayanti Lutchmedial for the induction of three new female members to our Club. President Rishi Ramlogan welcomed the inductees and recognized the contributions and achievements of the female Rotarians and partners- in-service in our Club. Members were treated to a musical interlude by Darrius Balgobin and Hugh Humphrey on the drums as well as a short video presentation highlighting the women in our Club working and volunteering at projects and fundraisers. The new Rotarians were presented to members and formally inducted by President Rishi Ramlogan Clydette Nandramsingh – Field Sales Coordinator at Nestle Trinidad Ltd Miranda Ramjattan – District Health Visitor stationed at Williamsville Health Center Shuntelle Thomas – Clerk 1 at the Princes Town District Health Facility Membership Director Rudranath Maraj, Past President Zobida Ragbirsingh and Senator Jayanti Lutchmedial assisted with the pinning and presentation of the new member kits to the newest Rotarians in the Club who expressed their appreciation for becoming Rotarians and were eager to get involved in planning and executing the upcoming service projects and fundraisers. Senator Jayanti Lutchmedial credited her success to her two grandmothers who were not highly educated but stated she is a product of their work which at the time was not valued. She recognized that Rotary creates a space for women but allows the opportunity for men to understand how women work and to see their value to society. Senator Jayanti also stated the need for gender responsive leadership in our society and the need to change how work is perceived where some men consider a housewife at home as not working or doing nothing as opposed to a woman working in an office. President Rishi and First Lady Nadira presented commemorative mugs to all the women present and the evening ended with members welcoming the ladies with warm congratulations and fellowship thereafter. #IWD2022 #womeninrotary #newmember #eachonebringone #membership #rotaryshares #rotarydistrict7030 #rotaryinternational

In recognition of Peace and Conflict Resolution Month, our Club hosted a webinar on cyberbullying, social media etiquette, digital footprint and internet addiction on March 2, 2022 (postponed from February 16th due to the national blackout) with our guest Darren Dhoray from CybersafeTT. Daren is the Founder and Digital Anthropologist at the CyberSafeTT Foundation, a non-profit organization with a mission to educate students, parents and teachers on Cyber Safety, Cyber Bullying, Internet Addiction and Social Media Etiquette. The session was interactive with Darren fielding questions after his presentation from our members and Interactors concerning digital footprint and internet addiction issues and methods we can use to prevent addiction. He also shared how easy it is for phishers to hack your information through seemingly harmless games where your passwords can be obtained without your knowledge. Our Club extends our thanks to Darren Dhoray of CybersafeTT and we look forward to more engaging sessions with him as we all serve to change lives in our society. #peace #conflictresolution #cyberbullying #internetaddiction #socialmediaettiquette #digitalfootprint #interactors #rotaryshares #rotarydistrict7030 #servetochangelives #serviceaboveself

Darren joined our Club in October 2019 and was active in all avenues of service. He was serving as Treasurer for this year 2021-2022 and was elected to the Board of Directors for the next rotary year as well. Our club sends our condolences to his bereaved wife, Tricia and his family. May they all find solace in this time of grief and we wish them comfort, peace and strength through this difficult time.

November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and our Club had the distinct privilege to have Pamela Zaballa, the Global Executive Director for NoMore.org and Danni Mohammed, the founder of Gentle Forces as guest speakers on domestic violence in Trinidad and Tobago at our virtual meeting held last night. Pamela Zaballa has worked to support domestic and sexual violence victims in different roles, from frontline services as a refuge manager, setting up human trafficking services, and policy and communication roles developing successful campaigns such as Hidden Child and UK Says NO MORE. Throughout her career, Pamela has had a keen interest in pushing boundaries and developing tech-based solutions for victims of domestic and sexual violence such as specialist domestic violence CRM systems, apps-based solutions and the NO MORE Global Directory, the first-of-its-kind directory of domestic and sexual violence resources for over 200 countries. As a firm believer that all parties need to find a solution to gender-based violence throughout her career, she has developed partnerships with multiple governments, international organisations and global corporations. Danni Mohammed has nearly two decades of experience where her instinct and drive has led her to redefine the status quo. Her passion and proof is taking old notions of creativity, business and strategy and freeing them from constraints and boundaries. Danni is at the forefront of industry provocation and creation; a seasoned strategy and transformation executive, Danni creates and delivers large-scale solutions with impact. Danni has had the privilege to speak at the 2021 United Nations General Assembly to launch Join The Chorus, a multi-industry pro bono effort galvanising over 80 volunteers to help end domestic and sexual violence for the Commonwealth Says NO MORE partnership. At the end of their presentation, there was a very interactive session where Pamela and Danni responded to many questions from our Rotarians concerning the effect of the pandemic on domestic violence as well as educating children from an early age to recognize the signs of domestic abuse. Please listen to the presentation on our YouTube channel, The Rotary Club of Princes Town and share with everyone as we all #jointhechorus and say #nomore to domestic and sexual violence. #rotaryfoundation #peaceandconflictresolution #jointhechorus #nomore #nomas #enddomesticviolence #rotarydistrict7030 #rotaryshares #servetochangelives #serviceaboveself #rotaryinternational

In recognition of World Diabetes Day observed annually on November 14th, our past president Zobida Ragbirsingh presented “Diabetes: Signs, Symptoms and Prevention Management” at our Club’s weekly meeting held on Wednesday November 10th, 2021 at Canton Palace Restaurant, San Fernando. PP Zobida is currently the Chairman of the Princes Town Branch of the Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago (DATT). She was President of DATT on two occasions as well as the Public Relations Officer. She also held the position of Vice President Health Care Professional with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) during the period 2015 to 2019. PP Zobida stressed on the importance of access to diabetes care and was very descriptive in explaining diabetes, its signs and symptoms and especially its effect on children. PP Dr. Ronald Gobin also enlightened Rotarians on new medication that is very effective in controlling diabetes. At the end of her presentation, PP Zobida distributed Diabetes pins to all present at the meeting. In addition, the Club assisted Ms S. Pariag with eye care costs of $1,500 due to diabetes complications and also delivered a wheel chair to Mr. Lakhan who recently had multiple toes amputated due to diabetes.

This year, on October 30th, our Club held our Divali celebration at the picturesque home of PP Jamir Ousman where all Covid-19 protocols were observed. As the sun began to set, Pundit Robin Loutan gave blessings and the first deya was lit by our President Rishi Ramlogan and rotarians and their families assisted in lighting the rest of the deyas. There were beautiful dances by the Sita Dance Company and melodious bhajans (religious songs) by PP Capildeo Beharry and Pundit Robin Loutan and group. PP Dr. Ronald Gobin conducted a “Pick A Pan” contest where patrons needed to give the hindi word for events that occur during a wedding ceremony. Of the three pans, two had phone accessory prizes and the third had a different prize, in this case it was a cucumber! Our Rotarians and guests were treated to dinner with a traditional vegetarian feast and delectable indian sweets as dessert. The highlight of the evening was the fashion show where the beautiful indian outfits were modelled by both children and adults and the best dressed raja (king) and raani (queen) were chosen. Our Club also recognized the indomitable spirit and strength of our Past President (PP) Zobida Ragbirsingh, a cancer survivor, who encouraged all the women present to get tested before it is too late. Finally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to PP Jamir Ousman and his wife Tara for welcoming us into their home once again for another memorable evening under the stars. #divali2021 #lightoverdarkness #diversity #equity #inclusion #rotarydistrict7030 #rotaryshares #serviceaboveself #servetochangelives

On Saturday September 25th, 2021 over eight hundred men, women and children came out to the Pointe-a-Pierre Golf Club Ballroom at the picturesque Pointe-a-Pierre Golf Course between the hours of 2 pm to 7 pm for our Annual Chokhafest Scholarhip Fundraiser. Over 1,000 tickets, donated by Ace Printery, were sold this year as patrons showed their support for students in need of assistance to further their tertiary education as the proceeds from our Chokhafest fundraiser solely funds our Scholarship Programme. Patrons all observed the Covid-19 regulations regarding sanitisation and social distancing by following the well placed signage and floor markers. This year two serving stations were installed on either side of the room to ensure that there was no crowding of patrons while choosing from the variety of chokhas. This year patrons were treated to 10 different types of chokha, coconut chutney, kuchela, murtani and home-made pepper sauces. Hot sada roti and fry bakes were prepared on-site with ingredients provided by our generous sponsors. Beverages and dessert were also provided by Blue Waters, Caribbean Bottlers and Coca-Cola, Parkview Supermarket and Kiss Baking Company. The Club also received a generous donation from Republic Bank Ltd towards our Chokhafest expenses. Patrons also had a chance to participate in our Raffle upon entry to win the Ninja Blender donated by Hand Arnold and the champagne and wine hampers donated by Nadira Ramlogan. Finally, the Club appreciates the support from all our Rotarians and potential Rotarians and wishes to extend our heartfelt thanks to the cooks, spouses and children of Rotarians, Interactors, friends, patrons and all of our sponsors for ensuring Chokhafest 2021 was a resounding success!

Shazad Hoosein or the Candyman, is a single parent who has been taking care of his daughter since she was six months old. He is afflicted with Keratoconus (an eye disease that affects the structure of the cornea, resulting in loss of vision) and has been selling candy to support his daughter who is now nine years old. He receives public assistance however this does not cover the cost of his rent, food and medical expenses. His goal is to have his own home so in the event he has his surgery and unable to earn an income, he would not have to worry about finding money to pay the rent and also his daughter will have a home to call her own. Our Club contacted the Glimmer of Hope Foundation who is helping Mr Hoosein with the construction of his home and delivered a Cheque for $2,000 towards the materials to build the house to Mr Steve Khadoo on behalf of the Foundation. #serviceaboveself #servetochangelives #home #rotarydistrict7030 #rotaryshares #parentallove

The torrential rainfall in Southern Trinidad over the last few weeks adversely affected many families whose homes were completely flooded as their furniture and appliances were waterlogged and their food supplies contaminated by the murky flood waters. The Club with the assistance of the Chairman of the Princes Town Regional Corporation, Councillor Gowrie Roopnarine identified families in dire need of assistance and delivered fifteen (15) hampers with grocery items and cleaning supplies to families from Kent Street in Williamsville, Barrackpore, Weston Street in St Mary's Village and Moruga. Many of the families were located right next to waterways and were extremely grateful for the assistance as they struggle to bring their homes back to a sense of normalcy as the flood waters subsided.

On Friday August 27, 2021 the Rotary Club of Princes Town held its 2020-2021 scholarship awards ceremony at St. Stephen’s College in Princes Town. President Rishi Ramlogan stated that the scholarships were not specific to any field of study or university. The scholarships were awarded based on a needs assessment of the student once the student has been successfully registered at their choice of university or institution. He also welcomed the students to Rotary and encouraged the students to get involved in Rotaract Clubs at their respective universities to be part of Rotary. He further stated that students can qualify for future scholarships from the Club as long as their grades are in good standing as the Club has previously assisted students with scholarships for each year of their academic studies. The Club also extended its appreciation to the New Calgary Tabernacle Church for their donation of $2,000 towards the scholarship programme.
Scholarships were awarded to the following students: Sabrina Soogrimsingh – Associate Degree General Nursing Akasia Lynn Augustine – Bachelor of Law, UWI Steven Bissoondath – Bachelor of Science Chemical and Process Engineering UWI Aaron Mungal – Bachelor of Science Petroleum Geoscience UWI Alisa Downing – Bachelor of Education UTT Makeisha Simon – MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) UWI Arun Mahabir – MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) UWI Ariel Mahabir - MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) UWI
The Scholarship Programme is funded solely by the Club’s CHOKHAFEST Fundraiser where the proceeds are allocated towards the scholarships. The more funds generated from the fundraiser will result in more scholarships being awarded to students. This year, CHOKHAFEST will be held on Saturday September 25, 2021 at the Pointe-a-Pierre Golf Club Ballroom from 3pm – 6pm, takeaway service only.
If you would like to support our Scholarship Programme you can contact any member of the Rotary Club of Princes Town or contact us on any of our social media platforms.

A Form 6 student from Princes Town was diagnosed with Keratoconus (an eye disease that affects the structure of the cornea, resulting in loss of vision) when he was a child. Cross-linking surgery was performed twice (the maximum number of times it can be done) but he developed scarring and worsening of vision and wore scleral lens to preserve his eye function and prevent rupturing of his eye. Both eyes were affected so complete visual impairment was a real possibility. He attended the Eye Clinic at the San Fernando General Hospital but the clinic was unable to assist with the surgery which is only offered privately in Trinidad at a considerable cost. Even though the surgery was deemed critical, the student wanted to write his CAPE 2 examinations before his surgery as he intends to further his studies after his recovery period from the surgery. After his final examination, he was seen by his Eye Doctor who determined that he needed emergency surgery as the disease had progressed rapidly and surgery was performed two days later.
The Club was made aware of his plight and contributed $10,000 towards the cost of his surgery. The student is currently recuperating and well on the way to recovery as he is eager to further his tertiary studies.

Our Club received a request for assistance for a 10 year old boy with haemophilia. The child had been in constant pain for the past three weeks due to an adverse reaction to a blood transfusion and was unable to walk. He needed constant medication and ice packs for his joints. The family had no electricity for the past nine years so they relied on a cooler and bought ice daily to soothe his joints. They recently received electricity through the kindness of well-wishers but had no money to purchase a refrigerator.
The mother sells vegetables in the market and had no surplus money after purchasing his medication to buy ice for his joints which negatively impacted his mobility.
Upon hearing of the child’s plight, one of our supporters Terrence Sookdeo purchased and delivered a 5cuft refrigerator which would allow the family to have a supply of ice. Also, our in-house Pharmacist Anandi Maraj volunteered to supply some of the medication needed to treat the child.
The Club is currently sourcing a bed and mattress to make the child more comfortable while he recuperates.

The Covid-19 pandemic forced the closure of schools and the education system was transformed into online learning platforms during the last year. As such, the Rotary Club of Princes Town recognized that many students within the Princes Town Schools were unable to access online learning due to a lack of electronic devices and donated 30 tablets to students from St. Stephen’s College, Princes Town West Secondary School and Cowen Hamilton Secondary School. Parents of the students who were identified by the Schools’ administration met with President Rishi Ramlogan and Director Dr. Lindsey Aziz on July 1st and July 8th 2021 at the schools’ compounds where President Rishi demonstrated the use of the tablet. The Club chose the Lenovo 8” Smart Charge Tablet with Google Assist as the one most suited for the needs of secondary students who can now join their classmates in online synchronous learning with their teachers. The donation of the tablets was facilitated by a grant from the Rotary District 7030 to the Club in their aim to transform education and change the lives of the students who need help the most.

On July 3 2021, the Rotary Club of Princes Town held its first virtual and 29th Presidential Handover Ceremony where our President Rishi Ramlogan was elected to serve another year as our President due to the sudden passing of our President Elect Rhea Nobee in July 2020. President Rishi Ramlogan congratulated the Club on their achievements during this year in spite of the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, the Club provided assistance towards surgeries, relief hampers, wheelchairs, installation of handwashing bays at district health facilities and schools and a medical outreach clinic at Gangaram Trace in New Grant. The Club also distributed Lenovo tablets to thirty secondary school students to access their online classes during the restrictions. The Club also conducted two successful fundraisers – Chokhafest and Golf Tournament which provided the funds to allocate towards tertiary scholarships and requests for assistance. Rotarians were recognized by President Rishi Ramlogan for their dedicated service and selfless contributions towards the Club’s projects and fundraisers. Awards were given out for 100% attendance, Quiet Rotarian, Spirit of Service, Heart of Rotary, Above and Beyond and Rotarian of the Year which was posthumously given to Rhea Nobee. The Club awarded two Paul Harris Fellows to Rotarian Dr. Lindsey Aziz for her humanitarian service as a frontline worker battling the Covid-19 virus at the Princes Town District Hospital and her service with the Rotary Foundation and to Nabeel Mohammed for his educational achievement by placing on the Caribbean Examination Council Cape 2020 Merit List for Computer Science in the region and for his volunteer services to the Club for the last 10 years. After the installation of President Rishi Ramlogan as President for the incoming year by AG Brian Ramatally, the goals and objectives were presented by President Rishi Ramlogan for the new rotary year as we serve to change lives. To assist with achieving these goals, the new Board of Directors with their respective portfolios was presented to the Club.

On a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning, our Rotarians and their friends and families packed their vehicles on March 21st and enjoyed the scenic drive to former Rotarian Seelal’s Ranch in Princes Town. When we arrived, we were greeted by a picturesque open field surrounded by towering trees that provided ample shade for us for the day. We couldn’t wait to explore more! The compound comprised of two adjacent buildings made out of recycled wood– one completely outfitted with pipe borne water and washroom facilities and the other covered open structure was designed with a bar area, grill and fireside overlooking a pond filled with kois and tilapia fishes. Throughout the day we were cooled by the constant strong breeze as we enjoyed our action packed activities with great fun, fellowship and laughter. PP Jim, PIS Tara and Parbaty, bubbled a huge pot of vegetable soup as First Lady Nadira and Debbie, our hostess, prepared the seasonings and curried the duck which was cooked “Chulha” style. Simultaneously, PP Bashir, Rotarians Rudy and Nazim barbequed the chicken and grilled the salmon as Rotarians Patsy and Andrea prepared the salad for lunch. Our lunch menu was complemented with roti, channa and fried rice by Rotarian Andrea, macaroni pie by PIS Radhika, garlic bread by Rotarian Michael and PP Zobida surprised us with pholourie and a tasty tamarind sauce as appetizer! Rotarian Amraz, President Rishi, IPP Jim, PP Ronald and Rotarian Rudy all contributed by the way of drinks. Our treasured ladies from Rotary Club of Maraval led by President Giselle Holder, also joined us for the day and brought delectable desserts and snacks that were enjoyed by all. Prospective Rotarian Steve and his wife brought mini pizzas and potato pies and Rotarian Wendy brought snacks which were quickly demolished by the kids and adults as they played throughout the afternoon. After a scrumptious lunch was had by all, we started the fun activities with the air rifle competition where the children, ladies and men competed in their sections. The overall winners were Anushka – Children, Rotarian Kelly from Maraval Club– Ladies and President Rishi – Men. They were all presented with medals courtesy Rotarian Rudy who also presented medals for the 2nd and 3rd placed winners. The boys also had a wonderful time playing cricket while the girls got introduced to hopscotch, a game these youngsters never knew existed but happily participated in with lots of laughter at the “ancient” game! Rotarian Villon led most of those present in a mini zumba session which was followed by the beer drinking competition won by Jodaine and Rotarian Andrea. The children had their own water and Gatorade drinking competition which was won by Clydelle (water) and Amrika (Gatorade). This was followed by the watermelon eating competition complete with picong which had some of the contestants choking with laughter as Rotarian Villon and PIS Parbaty emerged winners! The evening ended with the All Fours Competition which saw the Maraval ladies emerging triumphant against the men of Princes Town. Well done Ladies! The Club would like to express our sincerest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to our host Seelal, his wife Debbie and their children Amy and Nicholas for opening their amazing nature retreat to us and allowing us to enjoy a day outdoors where we can fellowship with our friends and families and where all Covid-19 regulations were observed. It was truly a fun filled day, where lots of memories were made and one which will not be forgotten soon!

On Sunday the 7th of February, 2021, the Rotary Club of Princes Town held its first Medical Outreach Service Project since the onset of the CoVid-19 Pandemic. This was done at the Gangaram Trace Recreation Ground in Brother’s Road, and expertly coordinated with the Princes Town Regional Corporation. This particular location was again chosen in commemoration of our late sister, former Rotarian and President-Elect Rhea Nobbee, to serve the community in which she grew up. During these hard economic times and in an era of increasingly depressed social circumstances these types of outreach programmes are becoming more and more necessary and beneficial to the communities, as was very evident in this instance. We were able to serve almost 120 patrons from this community who find it very difficult because of road conditions, transportation problems, financial issues, proximity burdens or otherwise to access these basic services which are offered at the health facilities. Rotarians and partners in services gathered from as early as 6:00 am to ensure that all was in fine order so the day could run smoothly especially having to adhere to strict CoVid-19 Protocols with respect to temperature screening, mask-wearing, sanitizing and social distancing. Services offered included medical check-ups with blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol testing, doctor’s consultation and examinations, dental examination, pharmacy services, legal advice, fitness guidance and assessment including BMI calculations. There were also free medication, clothing, hygiene-packs and food distributions. Some of the planning that went into this highly successful event came from the expertise of the Councillor/ Chairman of the Princes Town Regional Corporation Mr. Gowrie Roopnarine who had a specific hand in identifying the deserving families. Our Service Projects’ Director Michael, interviewed the young and not-so-young who expressed gratitude and were extremely pleased with the services provided, especially amidst the pandemic. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to all persons who made this day the success that it was, including our President Mr. Ramlogan, Service Projects Director Michael and his team, our hard working and dedicated Rotarians, their Partners-in-Service and children, our in-house doctors, Drs. Mr and Mrs Permanand, Dr. Kavi Ali, Justin from TT Lunch-KIT Catering and Anandi Maraj ( our Pharmacist) who sponsored over 100 lunch boxes, Mr Eddie from Eddies Pharmacy Debe, JT Rapid, Bryden Pi, Advantage Lab Services Ltd, Pharmtec, Blue Waters, Massy Stores, Coco Cola T&T Ltd.

In recognition of this and to promote the awareness of this preventable and curable disease, the Rotary Club of Princes Town had the distinct pleasure of hosting Dr Vishall Bahall, specialist Obstetrician/ Gynaecologist/ Oncologist, who spoke comprehensively on Gynaecological Cancers, its detection, treatment and of course preventative methods. This was done at the Club meeting held on Wednesday, 20th January,2021. For this special meeting and to maximize its reach and benefit Rotarians invited their close female relatives, partners in service and friends. Everyone soaked up the information Dr Bahall had to share, paying very close attention to the fact that this is a disease that women, can all so easily avoid by taking the HPV Vaccine available through the public health system. Can you imagine that! Having the power to prevent a certain cancer. Dr Bahall was very clear and eloquent in his delivery, captivating the audience with his every word. After his presentation, a few very pertinent questions were asked by the attendees, all of which were expertly answered, leaving no doubt in the minds of the audience. Another wonderful event taking place on the very same night was the pinning of AG Debbie Roopchand with her 8th Paul Harris Fellow (PHF), this particular one being awarded to her as Chair of the Peace-Building Committee. Congratulations to her!

Christmas Treat and Hamper Drive 13.12.2020 Gangaram Trace Recreational Ground. Braving the early morning heavy showers, Rotarians and their partners- in- service made their way to Gangaram Trace in Brother’s Road. This location was specifically chosen in tribute of our fallen angel, former Rotarian Rhea Nobbee. This was her home, the place where she grew up and it is only fitting that we continue the good works that she had already started in this community. The children of the community were met by Mrs. Clause, wonderfully portrayed by Rotarian Andrea to each receive their toy and treat bag amidst a festive atmosphere of villagers, Rotarians and partners-in-service. Of course everyone was briefed and fully obedient to the safety protocols of Covid-19. Unfortunately due to the heavy downpour not all the families for whom treat bags, toys and hampers were catered were able to attend. This however did not prevent them from receiving what was intended for them. The Rotarians reloaded the vehicles and started the journey, finding the families who were unable to make it to the Ground at Gangaram trace and delivering the hampers and gifts to their homes for which they were immensely grateful. What a fulfilling experience it is to meet the need of an individual or family in a time such as CoVid and to bring a semblance of joy and cheer where otherwise there would only be worry and despair. Special thanks to Rotarian Darren for donating the sweets, IPP Jim - apples, Rotarian Rudy – Juice, PIS Nadira- bags, Clydette and Roma. #SouthernFoodBasket #HolidayFoods, #SunshineSnacks, #Priceclubsupermarket

President's Dinner 11/12/2020. Christmas is a time for family, socializing (while social distancing), sharing food and festivities. 2020 was a year of separation from each other and the world, that’s why this President’s Dinner was such a cherished event. For one night, we donned our finest, faces adorned with masks not makeup (Ladies of course) and came out with our families for a dual intentioned evening of fellowship and inductions. The evening began beautifully with the induction of the Rotary Club of Princes Town’s newest members, overseen by Membership Director Andrea Bhagwandeen. We welcomed to the fold Villon Stanley, (former Rotarian) Wendy-Ann Joseph and Narisha Mohammed. Following the inductions a lovely dinner was shared amongst all attendees, the air filled with lively chatter and Christmas music. It was then time for Gift giving! Firstly door prizes, then the grand gift exchange between the Rotarians (determined by a highly numerically calculated system) and finally everyone received a gift from the President and First Lady themselves Rishi and Nadira Ramlogan. All this was done with the strictest observance of the Covid-19 protocols and regulations.

The critical and necessary enhanced Stay-at-Home measures put in place to curtail the spread of the COVID19 virus has had a disproportionate impact on vulnerable households throughout Trinidad and Tobago. This is especially true for the communities in and around Princes Town which contain fairly high single-income households, or households supported by non-essential activities.

“Choosing a career is not a very simple thing and sometimes when we start we don’t always find what we really want to do, and what is our life passion. However, it is important as young people with their entire lives ahead of them that you begin thinking now, and think broadly. Today you have information at your fingertips so use this technology to explore the broad spectrum of worthwhile endeavors. Information and communication technology provides us with vast vistas to determine what we really could be doing, and how we can lead productive lives of benefit to our society. Develop a passion for learning and be persistent. What is good for one person may not be for you. Do what you are passionate about. Find the career that brings the greatest joy and success will follow.” - District Governor Trevor Blake

JUBILEE CELEBRATION! Create your legacy by caring for others”. The Charter members of Rotary Club of Princes Town have indeed created their legacy for the past 25 years leaving their footprints on the sands of time and inspiring our future as a Club by supporting the recent younger Rotarians to make a difference in our community. Our Charter members’ faith in humanity, vision and sacrifice started this club 25 years ago. Our traditions enable us to honour the past, celebrate the present and provide a legacy for the future. What we owe the past are two things. Firstly, we owe our Charter Members our deepest appreciation for their magnificent accomplishments over the last 25 years for our Club and secondly, we owe to the past fidelity to the heritage which has been passed down across the generations. Members teared up as projects, fundraisers and fellowship for the past twenty-five years were proudly highlighted on a screen reminding us of our purpose and why we chose to become Rotarians and for those that was taken away from us to be in Heaven. This milestone was celebrated together with the Rotary Club of Maraval at the Australian Residence in Moka where chartered members Rotarian Jamir, Vilma, Ronald, Capildeo and deceased Wayne were honored. Guest speaker Mervin Assam and District Governor Waddy gave moving speeches about the continuity of Rotary work and the impact of our service projects to the community. Members from both clubs and their guests enjoyed an evening of Fellowship, Distribution of Awards and Fine Dining. At the end of the evening members were proud to say Rotary club of Princes Town will continue twinning with Rotary club of Maraval in the future for joint projects and fellowship. Something to look forward in 2018 – 2019 Rotary year!. I AM MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES! I AM PROUD TO BE A ROTARION!!

Rotarians were treated to a hospitality suite at T-VAT where members mingled and listened and danced to local Rotarians music band, and new friendships cultivated. The opening ceremony took place at the Cathedral Basilica followed by fellowship and live performances by the Interact Clubs at the Tropical Garden Party at DSB Garden. The following night was a grand Tribal experience at Owroe Cul Complex where members were treated to some local dishes especially the signature dish PEANUT BUTTER SOUP! The final day of Conference …Oh what a sad day indeed! as you bid farewell to friends from other countries, however there was one last event to enjoy together, the Masquerade Ball at Chamber of Commerce. Rotarians who extended their visit to do a little sightseeing in Suriname , were treated to an evening of winding down with Eats and Drinks and Dancing courtesy DG Waddy and his wife Shirley. Lifelong Friendships Built!! Knowledge Gained!! Rotarians reminded of their purpose!! The members of our club also extend their condolences to the Bhaggan Family on the loss of Past President Prakash Bhaggan who passed away in Suriname. The Rotary Club of Princes Town would like to express a heartfelt thanks to District Governor Waddy and the planning committee for ensuring our safety and comfort and most of all giving us memories to last a lifetime.

RYLA 2018, organized by the Assistant Governors in Trinidad, was held on Thursday 12th April 2018 and Friday 13th April 2018 at the YTEPP Building, Woodford Lodge Compound located in Chaguanas. This year, the RYLA committee allowed 4 participants from each Interact Club to participant in the two-day event. The Rotary Club of Princes Town sponsored eight (8) students from our Interact Clubs of Princes Town West Secondary School and St. Stephen’s College to attend RYLA this year. The facilitators/presenters included PDGs Lara Quentrall-Thomas, Steven Ramroop, Roger Bose, PAG Abriham Daniel, Deborah Jean-Baptiste, Surrendra Maharaj, and John Dasent. Some of the topics presented included Opportunities in TT for young entrepreneurs, Rotary Focus on Youth, Conflict Management and Problem Solving and Ethics of Positive Leadership. The Interactors expressed positive feedback and were grateful to the Club for the exposure and experience. They enjoyed themselves, made new friends whilst learning new material regarding leadership that can be useful in their daily lives. They all especially raved about the preference of the interactive method used in the presentations to convey the information as opposed to the traditional lecture style of presentations.

Maraval meets Princes Town The Rotary Club of Princes Town hosted Rotary Club of Maraval at the San Fernando Yacht Club on Wednesday 11th April 2018. As members were previously acquainted, the room was buzzing with small groups having conversations about the ambiance, the upcoming Anniversary celebration and building and strengthening friendships. Members enjoyed a delicious meal under the beautiful moonlit sky to the sound of gently splashing waves. After dinner, the two clubs celebrated Rotarian Jamir’s and Pam O’Farrell’s birthdays by cutting a specialty cake in their honor. Presidents Bashir and Maureen shared updates on the upcoming Anniversary celebration as members were very enthusiastic about this Jubilee celebration. It was a soothing and relaxing atmosphere and members were in no hurry to go to their respective homes especially the members of Maraval Club. As President Maureen said, “this partnership doesn’t end here!”
