Dr. Glenn Ramadharsingh): Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In May 2010, the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago identified seven pillars of development as a guide policy in the overarching sustainable development framework. The Ministry of the People and Social Development is aligned to pillar 1: People-centred development—we need everyone and all can contribute; pillar 6: Good governance—people participation, working for sustainable development. The Ministry of the People and Social Development is mandated with the responsibility for citizen engagement and to coordinate and implement the Government of Trinidad and Tobago’s social sector objectives. It is therefore imperative to strengthen the synergy of resources, reach and impact to the citizenry through the development of initiatives and promote the Ministry’s social support services. From July 2010, the Ministry, recognizing that in six months of that year, only 3,000 persons were intervened—their lives had intervention from the Ministry— set about a series of community outreach programmes to communities afflicted by poverty. The main objective of which was to deliver the many services, heighten awareness of these services among the residents. Through these outreach initiatives, the Ministry has held many social marketing activities, delivering services to over 100,000 clients from 2010 to present. This has presented an opportunity to open avenues to vulnerable members of the society in order to access and benefit services. We have the Direct Impact community outreach which increases the awareness of existing services from the Ministry of the People and Social Development, public utilities, housing, land settlement agency, legal affairs, NEDCO, NAMDEVCO and the CEPEP. We have also the Direct Effect which is where senior members of the Ministry, accompanied by their officers, with the above-mentioned Ministries and WASA, T&TEC, ADB and the National Commission for Self-Help, engage in walkabouts in selected areas which are deemed at-risk and vulnerable. This is to be on-spot with a knock on the door to hear complaints and obtain suggestions from the ground, issues directly affecting the daily lives of people. We have also propelled the “People’s Bridge of Hope” which is an initiative that seeks and sees the engagement of the corporate sector in terms of the NGC, the NEC, Petrotrin and those companies that can give back to social development, where we have given blood pressure kits, glucose monitor kits and wheelchairs to persons, with money that is not Government but from the corporate sector. [Desk thumping] 177 Oral Answers to Questions Friday, April 12, 2013 Poverty reduction and every MP’s office has benefited from this: wheelchairs, blood pressure kits, glucose monitor kits, hampers, health hampers. Mrs. Mc Intosh: “I never get no blood pressure kit!” Hon. Member: UNC constituents. [Crosstalk] Hon. Dr. G. Ramadharsingh: Your constituents get but you shall— [Continuous crosstalk] We shall continue to build these programmes so that they will better deliver to you. We also have the poverty reduction— Mr. Speaker: Hon. Member, please. I would like to hear the response to the question by the hon. Minister. Could we allow him to speak in silence? Could you continue? [Crosstalk] Well, he is doing that. Dr. Rowley: “Wha?” [Laughter] Hon. Dr. G. Ramadharsingh: The “Poverty Reduction through Empowerment Social Strategies (PRESS ON)” which is a holistic social intervention to meet the needs of clients. The programme is similar to the Direct Impact, however, it reflects the tenets of empowerment: 1. from welfare to work; 2. alpha numeric literacy; 3. food security; 4. engagement of the at-risk youth; 5. community-based micro enterprise; 6. civil society engagement; 7. the promotion of positive lifestyles; and 8. youth and no crime. Direct delivery, which sees us returning to these communities to deliver on the services requested by members of the community. Mr. Speaker, this move sees us going through the length and breadth of Trinidad and Tobago. In my capacity as the Minister of the people, within the first three days of assuming office, I was in Tobago launching a youth cricket match [Desk thumping] for the youths to stay away from crime. I have been there several times and especially when there were crises in terms of events and calamities that took place, we would respond immediately to the people of Tobago. 178 Oral Answers to Questions Friday, April 12, 2013 [HON. DR. G. RAMADHARSINGH] Mr. Speaker, the staff of the Ministry of the People and Social Development conducted its first Direct Impact in February of 2011.

Organisations and people who succeed, expand while others get smaller. They take risks while others conserve. They remain focused on the destination instead of the difficulties. The successful keep their eyes on the targets regardless of the challenges. Big thinking, massive actions, expansion and risk taking are necessary for our survival and future growth. We will never have all the answers. Our timing will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and difficulties. However, success is our duty, obligation and responsibility. Successful people and organisations are highly goal oriented and always pay more attention to the target than the problem. Excuses are for people and organisations who refuse to take responsibility. People and organisations with a can do attitude approach every situation with the outlook that no matter what, it can be done. Challenges are the experiences that forge successful people and organisations' abilities.
