The Ju­di­cia­ry has do­nat­ed ham­pers to the Liv­ing Wa­ter Com­mu­ni­ty, to as­sist its ef­forts to en­sure the most vul­ner­a­ble are not left be­hind dur­ing the cur­rent COVID-19 cri­sis.

In an of­fi­cial state­ment, the Ju­di­cia­ry notes that the ham­pers had been sent to it by the fam­i­ly of the late Dana See­ta­hal.

JU­DI­CIA­RY DO­NATES HAM­PERS OF AP­PRE­CI­A­TION TO THE LIV­ING WA­TER COM­MU­NI­TY

The Ju­di­cia­ry wish­es to thank the See­ta­hal fam­i­ly for their ges­ture of kind­ness, on 4th May 2020, by which a num­ber of ham­pers and care pack­ages were left for the staff of the Port of Spain Mag­is­trates’ Court.

While the Ju­di­cia­ry ap­pre­ci­ates the sen­ti­ment that mo­ti­vat­ed the fam­i­ly’s do­na­tion, it is un­for­tu­nate­ly not in a po­si­tion to re­ceive these items.

The Ju­di­cia­ry’s poli­cies do not per­mit the re­ceipt of gifts from stake­hold­ers or mem­bers of the pub­lic and it has there­fore arranged for the items so kind­ly do­nat­ed, to be for­ward­ed to the Liv­ing Wa­ter Com­mu­ni­ty, which has been on a dri­ve to pro­vide as­sis­tance to per­sons in need as a re­sult of the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic.

We take this op­por­tu­ni­ty to ask every­one to con­tin­ue to stay at home un­less leav­ing your premis­es is ab­solute­ly nec­es­sary. Be safe. Save a life.
