Award-winning gospel singer Positive will among the 15 performers at In Solidarity and Praise 3. The concert starts at 6 pm on November 25.
Losses throughout the Caribbean, caused by hurricanes Jose, Irma and Maria, have left many without homes and basic supplies. Many in TT have done what they could to help those left without.
In a September 8 BBC article, the cost of Hurricane Irma was estimated to be more than US$10 billion.
The National Union of Government and Federated Workers (NUGFW) in collaboration with the National Trade Union Centre will lift their voices in solidarity and praise for those affected in countries like Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla and Sint Maarten by those hurricanes.
Sean Daniel will be at this year’s In Solidarity and Praise 3.
This year’s In Solidarity and Praise 3, being held next Saturday at NUGFW’s car park, Henry Street, seeks to raise funds for those across the region.
Radio personality Jamie Thomas will, again, host this year’s concert.
Parks said each year the concert is held in aid of a particular cause. In 2015 the concert campaigned for the elimination of violence against women and girls as well as gender-based violence.
From its start in 2015, the concert continued its campaign against gender-based violence last year. But, “This year, in light of what has happened during the hurricane season...a lot of the trade unions we are affiliated with have been greatly affected and their members as well,” she said.
Jah Kiley will also be at this year’s concert.
He performed last year as well.
Parks said the book will be released soon. Tickets for In Solidarity and Praise can be bought at Maranatha Bookstore (Tunapuna and South), Prosperity Health Store (Frederick Street) and Shoe Aholics (Arima).
