I have a special interest in Marine Biology and Environmental Biology. I started my career with the TT Newsday newspaper in 2015 as a summer intern and later became a freelance reporter. I have a passion for storytelling both through words and photography. I have learnt a lot from my very brief stint as a reporter and look forward to more experiences with this company.","sameAs":["https://newsday.co.tt"],"url":"https://newsday.co.tt/reporter/shane-superville/"}]}</script> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//platform-api.sharethis.com' /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Trinidad and Tobago Newsday » Feed" href="https://newsday.co.tt/feed/" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Trinidad and Tobago Newsday » Comments Feed" href="https://newsday.co.tt/comments/feed/" /> <link rel="alternate" type="text/calendar" title="Trinidad and Tobago Newsday » iCal Feed" href="https://newsday.co.tt/carnival-2019-calendar/?ical=1" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Trinidad and Tobago Newsday » Minister grateful for bus from Chinese for Lady Hochoy Home Comments Feed" href="https://newsday.co.tt/2023/06/21/minister-grateful-for-bus-from-chinese-for-lady-hochoy-home/feed/" /> <style id='wp-emoji-styles-inline-css' type='text/css'> img.wp-smiley, img.emoji { display: inline !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; height: 1em !important; width: 1em !important; margin: 0 0.07em !important; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; background: none !important; padding: 0 !important; } </style> <link rel='stylesheet' id='wp-block-library-css' href='https://newsday.co.tt/wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/style.min.css' type='text/css' media='all' /> <style id='pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer-style-inline-css' type='text/css'> .wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer{max-width:none} </style> <style id='classic-theme-styles-inline-css' type='text/css'> /*!

Hochoy Home for special needs children, saying it will be a valuable asset in enhancing the home's activities.</p> <p>Cox spoke at a handing-over ceremony at the Chinese Embassy on Long Circular Road, Maraval, on Wednesday.</p> <p>In a media release from the ministry on Wednesday, Cox praised China's commitment to promoting the development of the differently abled to create a more inclusive society.</p> <p>She added that China's interest in the home began when Peng Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, visited Trinidad and Tobago in 2013.</p> <p>Referring to past donations of a minibus and medical supplies during the covid19 pandemic, Cox said the bus would ensure residents were better connected to programmes and other activities off the premises.</p> <div
