Purple has been a prevalent color the college students have worn in Trinidad and Tobago throughout our time volunteering. As one staff member at The University of the West Indies states, “purple symbolizes volunteerism and we embrace this throughout the island.”
We spent the day with students at The University of the West Indies helping all the children that utilize the St. Joseph Police Youth Club. We cleaned the center, cleared brush, planted flowers, and landscaped around the building to spruce up the outside of the center to provide a more bright and welcoming facility for students. 


















Our day also included a Collaborative group question and answer session and discussion between UofL and The University of West Indies helping the children of the St. Joseph Police Youth Club learn about going to college and following their dreams.
We also were surprised and blessed by the children of St. Joseph with a phenomenal musical performance and delicious handmade dish called palouri that is indigenous to the East Indian culture with Trinidad.
