A Call for Transformation
In 2022, Prime Minister Dr. Keith Christopher Rowley issued a nationwide call for ideas to enrich the lives of Trinidad and Tobago’s citizens, fostering a better environment for all. In response, a group of twelve long-standing friends, united by their love for our nation and a shared vision for its future, came together to contribute their insights. This book, born from their collective efforts, presents strategic recommendations aimed at nurturing the potential of every child, from birth to adulthood. Together, we embark on a journey to transform Trinidad and Tobago into a bastion of comfort, love, sharing, caring, and respect — principles we believe are the foundation of a prosperous society for our children.
