Last Sunday evening I participated in a 2 hour panel discussion – live on TV, Channel 8 – on the theme: “Approaches to Poverty Alleviation”. Other panellists were Prof Habib Ahmed, Durham University, from the Muslim community, and Rev Adrian Sieunarine from the Presbyterian community. I was asked to consider issues from a Caribbean perspective – with a focus on how the Catholic Church is seeking to alleviate poverty in TT and in our region.
