Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Venezuelan migrant boys and girls in TT will receive steelpan classes, says new Venezuelan ambassador Álvaro Sánchez Cordero (pictured).

This plan is part of the education and support programme for Venezuelan children that the embassy will implement.

Sánchez Cordero told Newsday on Monday the pan proposal was made by Venezuelan parents.

“Since I arrived at TT a little over a month ago I have met many Venezuelans. Several of them are parents interested in their children learning a little more about the culture of both Venezuela and TT,” he said.

Sánchez Cordero said last week he met with the mayor of San Fernando, Junia Regrello, and they discussed various issues, including cultural links between the two countries.
