Darryl Duke, Acting General Manager Enterprise Services at TSTT, pointed out that “the work of education in all forms is crucial to the development of young people in T&T.” He elaborated, “For more than two decades, bmobile has found that partnerships with nonprofit organisations like Chosen Hands is just one of the ways that we continue to support youth development and education through the bmobile Foundation.
Gerard Cooper, General Manager Shared Services at TSTT, is pleased with the idea that started in response to the pandemic. “Theatre in the streets is how we have traditionally viewed Carnival, but this developing shift to taking Carnival to the theatre in a family-friendly way allows for a telling and re-telling of our Carnival story to new audiences or existing audiences in a new way,” Cooper stated.
Gerard Cooper, General Manager Shared Services at TSTT, noted his pride at the Chutney Soca Monarch’s continued growth as a viable and technology-driven brand. “Holding our culture up for the world to see gives us immense joy and allows us to show the world just how diverse we are in our talent.
Gerard Cooper, General Manager Shared Services at TSTT, welcomed the opportunity to work on this initiative once more. “We recognise that technology availability and uptake only bring benefits when paired with education and training.

Core Foundation, a local NGO, has been engaged in work to enhance the lives of many underserved communities across the country. Established in 2015, its primary mission is to improve, inspire, and empower people to live a better quality of life by creating workable solutions to eradicate poverty and social issues.
Economic realities demand that Trinidad and Tobago seek alternative means of job creation and foreign exchange revenues. One area that has come into focus globally is the creative economy. Beyond energy industries and the development of our tourism sector, Tobago’s Eco-Industrial Development Company of Tobago (E-IDCOT) Ltd was established by the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) in 2009 as a wholly-owned, private limited liability company responsible for the development and diversification of the Tobago economy.
The Foundation’s Book Buddies programme traditionally provides books and school supplies for the students of the Homes. However, it has adapted since 2020 in order to continue its contribution towards the children’s school supplies by way of a monetary contribution instead.
TSTT partnered with Digicel and the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago in 2020 to procure over 10,000 devices for students of households affected by the economic fallout of the pandemic. Parents were also offered special rates for data to enable remote schooling to minimise the disruption to students’ education access across T&T.
