Em­ploy­ees of LNG pro­duc­tion com­pa­ny At­lantic all wore red as part of the com­pa­ny's cel­e­bra­tions of the 50th an­niver­sary of the In­de­pen­dence of T&T. Staff at the com­pa­ny's of­fices in Port-of-Spain and Point Fortin gath­ered for com­mem­o­ra­tive group pho­tographs and shared with each oth­er their re­flec­tions on the na­tion's his­toric mile­stone. Don­na Woon Sam, ad­min­is­tra­tive as­sis­tant in the hu­man re­sources de­part­ment said to col­leagues that she was very young on the oc­ca­sion of T&T's first In­de­pen­dence Day. "I feel very proud to be Trin­bag­on­ian and this is a proud mo­ment in the his­to­ry of our na­tion. We need to be proud of who we are and where we have come from, es­pe­cial­ly how quick­ly we got here. "As a small na­tion we moved very fast in terms of our de­vel­op­ment-eco­nom­ic, struc­tural­ly, all the changes that have been wrought over the years-and per­son­al­ly I feel we can com­pare to some of the big­ger na­tions in the world." Oth­er ini­tia­tives for the 50th an­niver­sary in­clud­ed At­lantic's Got Tal­ent, a tal­ent va­ri­ety show fea­tur­ing em­ploy­ees and con­trac­tors which raised funds for Rain­bow Res­cue in sup­port of its work in pro­vid­ing care and re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion to so­cial­ly-dis­placed and at-risk youth.
