🙌🏼Honouring our roots, celebrating our African heritage. 🌟

The Ifa Orisha Festival is a powerful reminder of the deep African roots woven into the fabric of Trinidad and Tobago's culture. 🇹🇹

Today, Saturday June 13, 2026, the procession which began at the Botanical Gardens and culminated at Woodford Square in Port of Spain, brought together practitioners and devotees to celebrate African spirituality. 😇

The Ministry of Culture and Community Development is honoured to witness and share in this beautiful expression of faith, unity and identity. 🙏

💪🏾✨ From Orientation to Transformation

The ManUP Programme was more than a series of activities, it was a journey of growth, brotherhood and purpose.

Through mentorship, life skills training, faith-based development, apprenticeships, entrepreneurship, digital skills, community service and sports, these young men were challenged to grow, lead and unlock their full potential.

As we look back on this incredible journey, we celebrate the commitment, resilience and transformation of every participant who chose to step forward and become something greater.

Congratulations to the graduating cohort of ManUP 2026! The journey does not end here, continue to Mobilise with Purpose, Achieve with Discipline, Navigate with Wisdom and Uplift Others Along the Way. 💙
