This morning, a crowd exceeding 3,000 gathered outside Harris Plaza in Princes Town, seeking free school books as the new academic year approaches. Residents from Moruga, Rio Claro, Tableland, and nearby areas traveled to the location, hoping to secure educational supplies for their children amidst ongoing economic difficulties. The significant turnout has been viewed as indicative of deepening financial challenges, exacerbated by the recent closure of several government programs, including SIPI and the Forestry Division, leading to increased unemployment and hardship. Attendees expressed their concerns, highlighting that many families are struggling as the school reopening date approaches. They called for more government intervention and support for those in need, underscoring the critical demand for social relief measures to alleviate the burden faced by families across the nation.
