Principal of Blanchisseuse Secondary School, Mr. Hashim Johnson said, “For many of our students, this sponsorship has provided not only the necessary tools to participate in cricket but also an immense boost to their confidence and self-esteem. Angostura’s sponsorship has also allowed us to enhance our physical education programme and provide our students with the opportunity to develop their skills and pursue their passion for cricket. This not only contributes to their physical well-being but also teaches them important life skills such as discipline, perseverance, and teamwork.” Sporting activities like cricket tend to instill discipline, teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills amongst young players. It provides a platform for physical fitness and mental well-being, encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle. These types of programmes assist with the holistic development of young individuals, providing them with essential life skills that extend far beyond the cricket field. Angostura® would like to congratulate the Blanchisseuse Secondary School’s Senior Boys and Girls Cricket teams for their outstanding performance in the SSCL where they placed 3rd and 2nd respectively.

      ANGOSTURA® AND TSL FOUNDATION CONSTRUCT STEELPAN MANUFACTURING FACILITY AT RUSSELL LATAPY SECONDARY SCHOOL   Angostura® collaborated with TSL Foundation to construct a Steelpan Manufacturing Facility at the Russell Latapy Secondary School in Morvant. The Facility, which was officially opened on May 14, will allow the school to offer its students Steelpan Manufacturing as a Caribbean Vocational Qualification subject. It marks a significant milestone in the advancement of vocational education and cultural heritage in Trinidad and Tobago. This latest corporate social responsibility initiative is evidence of Angostura’s commitment to investing in education and youth development in our fenceline community of Laventille/Morvant. It also emphasises the Company’s support for local culture, particularly in the area of steelpan and the Ministry of Education’s Adopt a School programme. The Russell Latapy Secondary School is now one of nine schools in the country with a Steelpan Manufacturing Facility and the first of its kind in the community of Laventille/Morvant with a space dedicated to the art and craftsmanship of steelpan manufacturing as part of the curriculum. Angostura’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Ian Forbes said, “Investing in the construction of a Steelpan Manufacturing Facility at the Russell Latapy Secondary School provides the option for students to excel in school through vocational subjects. Students who successfully complete the programme have the opportunity to obtain the necessary skills and training to gain employment regionally within the steelpan manufacturing industry. This is the impact that we want to create in society.” The partnership with the TSL Foundation opens a world of possibilities for students, enabling a more educated workforce and empowering our young people to cultivate their knowledge, positive values and attitudes. The steelpan is more than just part of the carnival festivities, it is a global business from steelpan manufacturing to export opportunities. Chair of TSL Foundation, Mrs. Nicole Galt said, “Without the very generous financial assistance from our Flagship Sponsor, Angostura®, the construction of the Facility which began in December 2023 would not have been possible.” Speaking at the opening of the Facility, Minister of Education, the Honourable Dr. Nyan Gadsby-Dolly who commended Angostura® for stepping up very early in her Ministry’s Adopt a School programme said, “I want to thank Angostura® for being a pioneer in the education philanthropy field.” Angostura® would like to thank the TSL Foundation and Russell Latapy Secondary School for the opportunity to partner with them on this exciting venture and we wish the students who will be using the Facility great success.

    ANGOSTURA® CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF THE BARCANT BUTTERFLY COLLECTION    This year Angostura® is celebrating 50 years of showcasing the Barcant Butterfly Collection. In 1974, Angostura® acquired a huge collection of preserved butterfly specimens from local lepidopterist Malcolm Barcant, who had spent almost 50 years of his life catching and cataloguing various species of butterflies from around the world. The collection boasts of specimens from 615 different species of butterflies that make Trinidad and Tobago their home.  It also contains specimens of some very rare, exotic and extraordinary butterflies from the Caribbean, South, Central and North America, parts of Africa and Asia.    In all, over 5000 specimens of butterflies make up this unique collection, the only one of its kind in the Caribbean. Thousands of people have visited the Barcant Butterfly Collection over the past 50 years, including Queen Elizabeth II during her state visit to Trinidad in 1985. Today, the Collection of 5000 butterfly specimens attracts hundreds of local and foreign visitors each year, including school children and adults.    Through our conservation of the Angostura® Barcant Butterfly Collection, the Company provides a valuable resource for education and research, allowing visitors to learn about the stunning array of butterfly species in the Caribbean. This ownership also enables Angostura® to share the beauty and importance of these delicate creatures, promoting conservation and awareness of their critical role in the ecosystem.    If you are interested in booking a tour of the Angostura® Barcant Butterfly Collection you can email us at tours@angostura.com
