Two of Guardian Me­dia’s lead ed­i­tors, Hema Ramkissoon and Samp­son Nan­ton in­ter­act­ed with stu­dents of the Barataria RC School yes­ter­day as part of Kids In Need of Di­rec­tion’s (KIND’s) project on Acts of Ran­dom Kind­ness (ARK). The on­go­ing ini­tia­tive in­volves go­ing to a num­ber of pri­ma­ry schools in po­ten­tial­ly at-risk com­mu­ni­ties en­cour­ag­ing acts of kind­ness and giv­ing stu­dents a sense of hope.

Over the past 2 decades, KIND’s work has as­sist­ed over 15,000 chil­dren and their fam­i­lies across Trinidad & To­ba­go, with re­sources need­ed to ex­cel in their ed­u­ca­tion.

KIND’s work has been to en­sure that all chil­dren and their fam­i­lies —es­pe­cial­ly those who are most at-risk or in need—can en­joy their rights to the fullest. Its pro­grams are de­signed to help re­move bar­ri­ers to ed­u­ca­tion for those in need, as well as to pro­vide holis­tic op­por­tu­ni­ties for aca­d­e­m­ic, cog­ni­tive, phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al, so­cial and moral de­vel­op­ment.
