Troubled Lives Under a Beautiful Sky
I am seeking grant funding to create 30 high-quality books and giclee prints showcasing the natural beauty of Trinidad and Tobago in these troubling times. The aim is to remind people of the country's beauty, unique features, and cultural heritage, and promote tourism and cultural ties.
Trinidad and Tobago is a beautiful twin-island Republic in the Caribbean, blessed with natural beauty, but suffering from several structural problems. The country's economy has been declining, unemployment rising, and violent crime rates are increasing. As a result, several first-world countries have downgraded Trinidad and Tobago to dangerous, causing a decline in tourism.
The project funding will be used toward purchasing photographic lenses, software, the printing costs of the book and individual prints. The books will contain at least sixty two (62) pictures to represent the country's year of independence which was in 1962. Each book will be created with attention to detail, and the prints will be giclee high quality and to ensure they are long-lasting and visually appealing. and prints will be given with the books.
The books and prints will be given to the Office of the Prime Minister to be used as keepsake tokens during diplomatic missions to facilitate cordial relations. The aim is to create a visual representation of the country's natural beauty and remind outsiders to Trinidad of its unique features and hopefully promote cultural ties.
In conclusion, this project will be a valuable contribution to preserving Trinidad and Tobago's natural beauty for generations to come. I hope you support this project.
