Leaders Build 2017 in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity

Constructing Houses… Creating Homes On Sunday March 19, 2017, the T&T Chamber partnered with the T&T Chapter of Habitat for Humanity in an initiative titled “Leaders Build 2017”. Representatives of the T&T Chamber Board of Directors, Management, staff and its Membership used the opportunity to lend helpful hands to assist a deserving family in the completion of their home. It was a fun-filled day, at the end of which a beautiful garden was planted and a home was spruced up and painted. “A home is heart, soul and love”, said the home-owner as he expressed gratitude for the assistance. Special thanks go out to Habitat for Humanity for the experience of the joy of service to the community.

It’s a great way to give back, while building a better nation – even if it takes one home at a time!
