“Our goal is to make Trinidad, and by extension the world, a better place.” One of Pennywise’s most impactful initiatives is its weekly home-building program, a project rooted in compassion and a deep sense of responsibility to the community. AP Scott, one of Pennywise’s close business partners whose director is also a part of the house building team, acquired specialized machinery that enables the construction of prefabricated homes for needy families. These are built entirely by volunteers. Every week, a group of 60 to 100 volunteers, led by Dalvi and his brother Satnarine, come together to build a house which is a transformative experience for all involved. “This is our blessing, that we are able to do these things. A lot of the people that we assist, they’re in a position where they can’t help themselves. They’re trying their best, but a breadwinner passed away, somebody’s ill, something happened, and they are just in a position where they can’t go anywhere,” Paladee reflects. Constructed with prefabricated materials, the process has been refined to take just 90 minutes per house. amcott.info (868) 299-0892 Alstons Marketing Co.
