People of Trinidad and Tobago - Aisha Chow


Aisha Chow will be the first rower to represent Trinidad and Tobago at the Olympics.

In March 2016, US based Chow, who is 39 years old, competed at the Latin American and Caribbean Olympic Qualifier Regatta, in Valparaiso, Chile.

Competing over several days, Chow posted a personal best time in the semi-finals to qualify for the finals and earn a spot for Trinidad and Tobago in rowing at the Rio Olympics.

Chow grew up in the suburbs of Port-of-Spain and attended St. Joseph’s Convent, before moving to the US for college where she first started rowing while at the University of Miami, where she was working toward dual bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Microbiology & Immunology, while on a full academic scholarship.

By the end of her freshman year, she was a member of the top Varsity Women’s boat and on an athletic scholarship.
During her four years at the University of Miami, while maintaining a constant presence on the scholastic honor roll, Chow contributed to some of the University’s best placements, including gold medals at the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship Regatta.

After the University of Miami, Chow took a long break from organized sports while she pursued her Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology at Duke University and then as she advanced her research career in the Biotechnology Industry in California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

She resumed rowing again, 10 years after her stint at the University of Miami and has made it to the Olympics.

Local San Fernando City Corp Animal Pound ~ Inhumane Treatment of Stray Dogs

No Spoiler - Raw Footage




While the government is at fault for the treatment of Animals at the pound, the source of the problem is irresponsible pet ownership.

Before adopting from a shelter please visit the pounds, the animals there have limited time before they are put to sleep.

These dogs are treated in the most inhumane way, they are beaten, starved, and while dying they are tossed and kicked around by the non caring staff.

If they are fed its usually bread, thrown into the enclosures, they fight each other for the small piece of bread.

There are cases where dogs ate other dogs.

Spaying and Neutering will help reduce the unwanted animal population to a number that can be controlled. In the meantime, I urge everyone who have seen this video to write to the San Fernando City Corp, express how you feel and ask that changes be made. The address :

Local Port of Spain

Just talking a walk about downtown Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.

I am actually from Trinidad but don't spend enough time there.

Info: Port of Spain, on the northwest coast of Trinidad island, is the capital city of Trinidad and Tobago.

A bustling and friendly city, Port of Spain is a great place to spend a couple of days and is the hub for the Trinidad's famous carnival. It has been the capital since 1757 and is the main administrative center, although not the largest town.

The main shopping area is between Frederick Street and Charlotte Street, running south to Independence Square (Brian Lara Promenade). As well as the bricks-and-mortar shops, there are numerous stalls on the street selling everything from fruit to CDs.

In the evening Independence Square is full of locals liming - hanging around, chatting to their friends and sampling food from the stalls scattered throughout. Wandering through here is a great way to get a feel for what Trinidad is about.
