The Rotary Clubs of St Augustine, San Fernando South and Willowdale (Ontario, Canada), along with Dr Paulson Skerrit, Lecturer - Reading Education, School of Education, Faculty of Humanities and Education, The University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus (UWISTA), recently held an information session for Rotary Clubs, on the recently launched Psychoeducational Diagnostic and Intervention Clinic (PEDIC). 
     PEDIC, based at the School of Education, UWISTA, was formed to address challenges that exist in Trinidad and Tobago, where there is limited access to assessment and intervention that result in barriers to learning not being identified and addressed for many learners. 
    This includes issues specific to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Reading Challenges, which will be highlighted as it relates to the need for the PEDIC project in 89 primary schools across the country. 
     The PEDIC is spearheaded by Professor Jerome De Lisle, Team Leader, Principal Investigator, PEDIC and Director, School of Education and the rest of his team, Dr. Korinne Louison, Manager; Dr. Elna Carrington-Blaides, Inclusive Education Specialist and Dr. Paulson Skerrit, Reading Specialist, PEDIC.
     Highlights of this multi-phase research project include:
 
·      Surveying the ADHD/Reading context within the primary school system of Trinidad and Tobago;
·      Ascertaining the prevalence of ADHD in school-aged children and student attitudes toward reading;
·      Conducting clinical interviews and administering parent/teacher behaviourial rating scales
·      Screening for Dyslexia and Tier I and II assessment of reading challenges, that will drive evidence-based interventions.                                                                    
    PEDIC envisages that in Phase IV of the project, the support of the Rotary Clubs will provide the resources for the screening, diagnostic assessments and interventions specific to reading challenges on a scale that will fit with PEDIC’s social entrepreneurship business model.

"I would like to ask all members of clubs throughout the world to link together in ACTION ON JANUARY 10th. I have chosen this special day because it was on January 10th 1924 that the Mother Club, the Manchester Inner Wheel club, England, first adopted the name INNER WHEEL.

Imagine Rotary - Message from the President

Rishi Sharma

member photo
Hello friends,

When I joined the Rotaract Club of St Augustine in 2010 I never intended to become a Rotarian,
back then it simply was not the norm for Rotaractors in our district (7030) to transition to their sponsor clubs. I served my Rotaract Club actively and heeded the guidance of Past Presidents (PPs) Gary Williams and Ramesh Ramlogan who served as our advisors from the sponsor club, the Rotary Club of St Augustine.
 
During my time on the board of our Rotaract club I was regularly invited by Past President (PP) Dr Deo Singh  to attend meetings of the Rotary Club of St Augustine and even invited to assist in the planning and execution of various projects; this led to me being one of the first Rotaractors of my club to take the next step and join Rotary when invited by PP Vishnu Balroop.
 
As a Rotarian I sat in many meetings and observed the various Past Presidents executing their tasks with their various board members. I learned of the historic and impactful projects we did over the years and noted the level of dedication and enthusiasm by the various members who worked on those projects.

I am truly looking forward to serving as club President in a year where Rotary International (RI) will be guided by its first female President, Jennifer Jones. She has graciously challenged us to 'Imagine Rotary' a theme that allows us to apply our own context to how we interpret and apply it.
 
  • What do we Imagine for our Rotary club, our country, our district and our planet?
  • How do we go about making our imaginations a reality?
  • What do we imagine to be the best ways to satisfy the seven (7) Areas of Focus?
 
Our RI President wants to see Rotary be more welcoming, clubs need to ensure that we are paying attention to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. This year District 7030 is pleased to be guided by the vast experience of District Governor Leslie Ramdhanny who has asked that we focus on projects that have an environmental impact. He has also asked that we focus on joint projects to maximise community impact. To me the most important thing that he asked is to ensure that members are engaged in these projects, as we need to remember that each member can bring their own ideas, values and enthusiasm to assist in project execution.

I believe that with the guidance of Assistant Governor Maria Mohammed-Maharaj our Club will certainly do it’s very best to ensure that we 'Imagine Rotary.'

Best Regards,
Larry Tex Holder, PHF
President 2022-2023
