What began as a simple act of kindness has grown into a community-driven organisation dedicated to supporting families across Trinidad and Tobago. As Making A Smile NGO celebrates its sixth anniversary, Founder Alicia Donna Ali joins Virmala to reflect on the organisation’s journey, the lives it has touched through food drives, school supply donations and community outreach, and the challenges of sustaining charitable work.
She also shares the importance of volunteerism, transparency and community partnerships, while looking ahead to the NGO’s future initiatives and continued mission of giving back.
