SE­WA In­ter­na­tion­al Trinidad & To­ba­go (SE­WA TT) has hand­ed over 9,000 KN95 masks to the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion’s Adopt-A-School ini­tia­tive.

Min­ster of Ed­u­ca­tion, Dr. Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly, re­ceived the masks from SE­WA TT’s Pres­i­dent, Re­van Teelucks­ingh, dur­ing a sim­ple cer­e­mo­ny held at the Ed­u­ca­tion Tow­ers, Port of Spain, on Thurs­day 17th Feb­ru­ary 2022. 

“As we take steps to get our stu­dents back in­to schools for face-to-face class­es, the wear­ing of masks be­comes es­sen­tial for their con­tin­ued health and safe­ty,” Min­is­ter Gads­by-Dol­ly said.

She added: “The Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion is al­ways pleased when or­gan­i­sa­tions come on board to con­tribute in such a mean­ing­ful way. We are very hap­py for this gen­er­ous con­tri­bu­tion to­day, and we look for­ward to part­ner­ing with SE­WA In­ter­na­tion­al TT in fu­ture ed­u­ca­tion re­lat­ed ini­tia­tives.” 

Back in Oc­to­ber 2021, SE­WA TT pledged to do­nate 1,000 KN95 masks to every sec­ondary school in Trinidad and To­ba­go. SE­WA TT says these masks will be used in the schools as the prin­ci­pal and staff see fit. Thus far, the Or­gan­i­sa­tion has dis­trib­uted masks to 123 of the 135 sec­ondary schools in Trinidad and To­ba­go.
