Hold­ing up plac­ards, pupils, par­ents and sup­port­ers took to the street call­ing for more and more na­tion­als to up­hold na­tion build­ing val­ues to pre­vent the so­ci­ety from fur­ther de­cay.

The walk, which took place on Sat­ur­day, was host­ed by the Sri Satya Sai Ba­ba or­gan­i­sa­tion. The event com­menced at the Es­mer­al­da Recre­ation Ground and cul­mi­nat­ed at the Sai Ba­ba EC­CE school at Long­denville.

Vin­ti Mo­hip, pres­i­dent of the Sri Satya Sai Ba­ba or­gan­i­sa­tion, said the com­mu­ni­ty needs to put val­ues high on their agen­da.

She said the five Satya Sai Ba­ba EC­CE schools in T&T are based on a sys­tem of pos­i­tive val­ues. “We are not giv­ing up on our beau­ti­ful T&T,” she said.

She said change starts from very young and it was im­por­tant that adults work with young peo­ple in­fuse val­ues dur­ing their for­ma­tive years so the ben­e­fits can be reaped lat­er on.

Mo­hip said con­trary to what some peo­ple may think, her or­gan­i­sa­tion is not a Hin­du based or­gan­i­sa­tion but en­com­pass­es all re­li­gions.

She said, “This is a spir­i­tu­al or­gan­i­sa­tion based on love and ser­vice, Spir­i­tu­al­i­ty is based on the work of all re­li­gions around the world.”
