This in­au­gur­al fundrais­er will com­mem­o­rate the Unit­ed Na­tions In­ter­na­tion­al Day of Peace, ob­served an­nu­al­ly on Sep­tem­ber 21, aimed at sup­port­ing Ro­tary’s peace­build­ing ini­tia­tives, par­tic­u­lar­ly the Youth Em­pow­er­ment and Sup­port Ini­tia­tives project.

In ad­di­tion to in­spi­ra­tional speak­ers, the event will fea­ture the high­ly an­tic­i­pat­ed fash­ion seg­ment co­or­di­nat­ed by renowned cre­ative di­rec­tor Richard Young. The seg­ment will show­case the de­signs of lo­cal and re­gion­al tal­ent, in­clud­ing Kooti’s, Charu Lochan Dass (CLD), Lisa Faye Hand Dyed Silk Cloth­ing, The Cloth, In­dige­nous De­signs by Do­minique La Roche, Ne­ha Ka­ri­na, Eliz­a­beth Lu­cas, and Mark East­man.

Adding to the ex­cite­ment, An­na-Lise Nan­ton, Miss World Trinidad and To­ba­go, will grace the run­way, of­fer­ing at­ten­dees an un­for­get­table dis­play of fash­ion and cre­ativ­i­ty.

Prof Rose-Marie Belle An­toine, cam­pus prin­ci­pal of The Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies, St Au­gus­tine, is the fea­tured speak­er and will ad­dress the au­di­ence on the top­ic: Em­pow­er­ing the Next Gen­er­a­tion: Ed­u­ca­tion as the Foun­da­tion for Peace and So­cial Jus­tice. Deb­bie Roopc­hand, Ro­tary Dis­trict 7030 Gov­er­nor, and Joan­na Kazana, Unit­ed Na­tions Res­i­dent Co­or­di­na­tor in T&T, will al­so de­liv­er brief re­marks.

Lara Quen­trall-Thomas, Past Ro­tary Dis­trict 7030 Gov­er­nor, will serve as Mas­ter of Cer­e­monies. The Hats & Heels event will raise funds for The Ro­tary Foun­da­tion and cham­pi­on ini­tia­tives that em­pow­er youth through ed­u­ca­tion, sup­port im­pov­er­ished stu­dents, and pro­mote con­flict pre­ven­tion.

Over the past five years, Ro­tary Dis­trict 7030 has con­tributed ap­prox­i­mate­ly US$1.5 mil­lion to The Ro­tary Foun­da­tion, mul­ti­ply­ing these ef­forts through ac­cess to grants, which have fund­ed im­pact­ful projects across the re­gion.

“The event is ex­pect­ed to serve as an ex­cel­lent plat­form to cel­e­brate peace, en­cour­age ed­u­ca­tion­al op­por­tu­ni­ties, and cre­ate sus­tain­able im­pacts with­in lo­cal com­mu­ni­ties. Through ini­tia­tives such as ex­tra lessons, vo­ca­tion­al train­ing, and men­tal health sup­port, Ro­tary re­mains ded­i­cat­ed to fos­ter­ing peace­ful en­vi­ron­ments where young peo­ple can thrive,” a re­lease stat­ed.
