Passing on the care
Students of The University of the West Indies (UWI) organised a public forum on April 3, 2009 called, “Nurturing a Caring Society—Pass it on.” The forum took place at the Trincity Mall and aimed at increasing social consciousness and affecting change that will encourage the country’s transformation into a more caring society.

The Social Policy and Administration students intend to translate their theories of social work into real benefits for society. They wanted to make the public more sensitive to the ways in which individual actions contribute to the national deficit in positive values. The forum also focused on young people and socially displaced groups, such as persons living with HIV/ AIDS, mentally and physically challenged persons, and the elderly.
