End of February update

I wanted to be very sure of this before I posted it, so I've taken a few days to confirm. 


I want you to know that as of March 3rd 2010, there are no persons missing for the month of February 2010. 


There were, however, two close calls. Both involved very young girls.


In one incident a 10 yr girl in Diego Martin was taken by the driver of the PH taxi she had travelled in with her grandmother to get home. Thankfully, and likely due to the efforts of her determined and quick-thinking grandmother, she was returned unharmed back into her grandmother's care within hours. 


There was one other incident on February 10th where 3 girls, aged 11 and 12, boarded a maxi-taxi after school but never arrived home. The girls' parents reportedly arrived at the school to collect them and found them missing. In that instance, relatives and well-wishers reported it to the police, but also formed a search party and discovered the girls in a nearby housing scheme early the following morning.


We are thankful that in both incidents, the children made it safely back home. And we remain aware that we must continue to be vigilant and look out for our fellow man.


Let us pray for continued positive change in Trinidad & Tobago, and for a safe month of March. 


Blessings!
