Jamaican reggae icons Sizzla and Capleton visited 3 schools in the Laventille and Morvant district spreading positivity while singing to the pupils on Thursday 24th November, 2022:
• Miguel Orlando Collins, known by his stage name Sizzla Kalonji or Sizzla and Clifton George Bailey iii, better known by his stage name Capleton came to Trinidad last night and are featured artists for the concert “Kings of the earth concert” which will take place at the Queens Park Savannah on Saturday.
• The schools they visited were the Rose Hill RC School which recently shot into the spotlight regarding the shootout near the school that had students cowering in fear in their classrooms.
• They also visited the Morvant Laventille secondary school at pelican extension, road Morvant and the St. Barb’s government primary school.
• This was an initiative of “project building blocks” which is a division of the ministry of national security which deals with guns and violence within communities in east Port-of-Spain.
The Rose Hill RC School shot into the spotlight after gangs traded bullets nearby on Monday 31st October. Days later, a chilling video angered citizens which showed school children taking cover under their desks and being protected by their teacher as gunfire echoed throughout the school.
On Thursday 17th November, officers of the mounted branch and k-9 unit, visited the school along with some of their dogs and horses led by asp Sookar and inspectors Taylor and Coggins.
