Her Excellency Hosts Third Children’s Storytime

In conjunction with the NGC Bocas Litfest, Her Excellency the President, Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T., hosted her third Children’s Storytime at The President’s House yesterday, Wednesday 29th November, 2023.

In attendance were 9 to 11 year old pupils of Kanhai Presbyterian Primary School in Barrackpore, Cedros AC Primary School, Maracas RC Primary School and Milton Presbyterian Primary School in Couva.

Girls and boys from each school read The Sad Coconut Trees from The Children’s Storytelling Caravan Book 8 for Her Excellency and their peers after which Her Excellency questioned the group about what they had learnt.

All in all it was a great session with the children excited to meet the President and Her Excellency equally enthused at welcoming them to her official residence.

As part of its observance of African Emancipation Day 2026, the Office of the President welcomed students, members of the Diplomatic Corps, and representatives of the Emancipation Support Committee of Trinidad and Tobago to The President’s House for a special performance of Freedom Morning Come, written by Eintou Pearl Springer and performed by the Idakeda Group.An imagined conversation between enslaved Africans awaiting the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1834, Freedom Morning Come has been performed annually for more than a decade at the original site of the Proclamation’s reading in Port of Spain.This year’s presentation held particular significance as it formed part of the 150th Anniversary observance of The President’s House, which stands on lands formerly known as the Paradise Estate, once a slave-worked sugar plantation.The performance reflects Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo ORTT, President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’s commitment, expressed in her Inaugural Address, to open The President’s House to activities that promote youth development and empowerment, as well as cultural, educational, and intellectual engagement.📸 See the full album:https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCYe1s ...
