Greetings to all!
In this Issue of our Magazine for CIESART – TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO we will inform you of all the projects undertaken during the course of the year 2022 – 2023.
Our first project was an International Anthology – CREATING A BETTER WORLD. 68 poets from countries all over the world participated.
We dedicated that anthology to the memory of the great Trinidadian writer and Nobel Prize Winner 2001 – Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul - Nobel Laureate.
The book was a No. 1 hot new release one day after it was published, and an Amazon No 1 bestseller in Poetries and Anthologies. The Kindle Version was given free to readers, but Amazon advised that they have sole discretion on price, and they have since changed the price to 0.99 cents.
We received tremendous support from the How to Write for Success Literary Network of which Brenda Mohammed is the Founder, and Florabelle Lutchman, a Chief Literary Ambassador.
The Foreword was written by Dr. Vandita Dharni, the Chief Literary Ambassador for India, of the How to Write for Success Literary Network, that has always been dedicated to the promotion of Peace, Love, and Humanity, with sub-forums for Poems for Suicide Prevention, and Poems Against Domestic Violence.
Anganie Ramsaroop, Director General, was the Editor,
and Brenda Mohammed published the book.
Certificates were distributed by CIESART – SPAIN to all participants.
Earlier this year, HTWFSLN published an Anthology titled PEACE BEGINS WITH US. The Foreword was written by Dr. Lovelyn P. Eyo who is a Peace Ambassador and Continental Director of CIESART, and Chief Advisor to HTWFSLN. It was a No. 1 bestseller, as were all previous anthologies.
The Forum had previously also published two Anthologies with poems against Domestic Violence, and two with poems for Prevention of Suicide.
Another of our major projects was a National Book and Arts Fair in South Trinidad in January 2023 to promote literacy. It was well patronized by authors, artists, and book and art lovers. You can read all about it in a later article.
We paid a visit to an animal sanctuary where abandoned animals – cats, dogs, and horses are rescued, and where animals and the environment are given top priority. The owner of the sanctuary is Kathryn Cleghorn, a School Vice Principal and sister of Dr. Farley Cleghorn, who was a nominee for the SEA Crystal award in Spain, and a winner in the Gabriella Award in Chile. You can also read about this project in the next few pages.
You will also read a delightful combination of articles and poems on peace, love, and humanity by Florabelle Lutchman, with artistic illustrations by Rhonda Cleghorn, a nurse and artist.
This Magazine was designed, compiled, and published by the President, Brenda Mohammed, to showcase all our projects for the wider community.
