Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - The Trinidad and Tobago Chinese Steel Ensemble has received a donation of $50,000 as seed money towards the purchase of a vehicle to transport instruments.
The donation came from Bernice Ho-Leanza, daughter of the Chinese Arts Group founder Aileen "Susie" Ho.
In making the presentation, Bernice said she hoped other organisations would emulate their kind gesture by coming forward to lend financial support to the band’s needs.
Susie, who was born in Trinidad on July 11, 1914 and died on January 21, 2007 in Houston, Texas, formed the Chinese Arts Group in 1948 to promote Chinese Arts and Culture and support charitable organisations.
....The presentation of the cheque to the Trinidad and Tobago Chinese Steel Ensemble was made at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China thanks to the courtesy of its Chief of the Culture office, Xing Xuejun.
