The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
Amid the constant barrage of distractions and dwindling motivation, self-discipline emerges as the unwavering beacon that guides individuals toward triumph. This vital quality serves as the key to unlocking one’s true potential, whether the aspiration is to attain personal goals, ascend the career ladder, or refine everyday habits.

1. BACKGROUND
Kids In Need of Direction (KIND) is a charitable organization founded fifteen (15) years ago, with the
aim of providing assistance to disadvantaged children throughout Trinidad and Tobago, within the
parameters of Education, Nutrition, Medical Assistance, Vocational Training, Emotional Counseling
and Sport.
KIND is governed by a Board of Directors with executive membership made up of professionals in the
field of Medicine, Education, Finance and Business, who complement each other by working in
tandem to ensure that the goals of the organization are achieved.
The organization was registered as a Non – Profit Company on 24th April 1998, and granted charitable
status by the Ministry of Finance on 21st August 2001. Our attorneys, Pollonais, Blanc, De la Bastide
and Jacelon and Accountants, Aegis Business Solutions Limited, both highly respected firms
graciously provide their professional services free of charge. Audited statements are presented
annually.
KIND’s focus is the assistance of the less fortunate and “at risk” children in our society. We see this as
a critical need and therefore will continue our intervention efforts working with our society’s most
precious resources, our children.
To date, KIND has helped over two thousand (2,000) children and their families. As we identify more
and more cases of children in distressing
situations, the need for assistance
grows. We note that without assistance
from organizations such as ours, the
needs verses assistance gap becomes
just a statistic in the records of Trinidad
and Tobago. We must continue to grow
and act.

KIND’s BENEFICIARIES
KIND has adopted a novel 2-pronged approach to empowering our
clientele. Whilst focus is concentrated on the educational and
psychological development of the child, assistance is also extended
to the relevant members of their families. KIND recognizes that
it is counter-productive to return a child to the same
negative home environment. We therefore go one step
further and act as a catalyst for change in the home environment
by conducting programmes geared specifically towards parents.
The beneficiaries of this project are from various communities in
Trinidad and Tobago. These children are considered “At Risk” and
most of them have failed their high school entrance examination. In many
cases they have had a problem with Literacy from childhood which went unidentified or possibly
ignored. Many come from extremely poor families and are unable to afford programmes that could
remedy this problem. Often they treat educational needs as a bother because of the high cost of books
and transportation. Education is not their primary focus; as a result many of the children’s
educational needs go unattended.
KIND’s priority has been to develop children and young people to become effective individuals in
their communities and the society at large. We believe that a Literacy-rich
environment must be created if we are to progress as a nation. The
link between “where we are” and “where we ought to be” must be
shortened daily if we are to achieve fully developed status. KIND
sees this “narrowing” occurring through education.
KIND helps families in need as well as students who are having
problems finding support to attend school on a daily basis. We provide
school books where applicable and help parents with school fees.
Counselling services are provided for students who have behavioural
problems and motivational sessions are conducted to enhance their
performance.
KIND’s NETWORK
KIND recognizes in our present day society, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and community
based organizations (CBO’s) are unable to operate in isolation. Links with government agencies and
the private sector as well as other national and international NGOs / CBO’s are critical to the overall
5. success of these organizations. As a corollary, this also enhances these organizations capacity to offer
improved services to its clientele. As such KIND has developed and is still developing a dynamic
network of social, educational, medical and recreational institutions, all of which offer correctional
and developmental services for children and adults. Some of the institutions we partner with directly
include:
Coalition Against Domestic Violence
CRADLE
Families In Action
Family Planning Association (FPA)
Foundation for the Enhancement and Enrichment of Life (FEEL)
Kids In Distressed Situations (KIDS) - New York
Moms for Literacy
National Family Services
Rainbow Rescue
Rape Crisis Society
SERVOL
Social Welfare Division
The Cotton Tree Foundation (CTF)
The Living Waters Community
The Psychological Association of Trinidad and Tobago
The Shelter for Battered Women
Trinidad and Tobago Peace Government
Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA)
6. This programme makes provision for disadvantaged children who
are in regular Primary and Secondary School whose parents or
guardians are unable to provide for their basic educational and
nutritional needs. Each school term we assist approximately sixty
(60) children from less fortunate families.
KIND provides tuition fees, schoolbooks and supplies, extra lessons, transportation, medical supplies
and hampers for the family where applicable. We also assist these families in the areas of nutrition,
medical assistance, vocational training, emotional counselling and sport.

7. This represents one of the main areas of KIND’s ongoing efforts
to assist underprivileged youths in Trinidad and Tobago.
Education is our primary focus in this programme. We believe
that education is the key for any real development to take place
within the lives of our children.
Most of the children entering our programme are not equipped with
the basic literacy skills required to survive in our world. Many of them are slow learners whose
learning challenges are compounded by behavioural issues. Theirs is a unique situation that requires
detailed attention to correct the problem. This is where KIND’s intervention is crucial.
The project is conducted in collaboration with Servol and Dr. Hyacinth McDowell of the Ministry of
Education. Our teachers are qualified and ALTA trained. There are three classes Beginners, Level One
and Level Two. Each student is assessed to determine which level is best suited for their academic
learning.
Many of our students are less fortunate individuals who have successfully completed the Adolescent
Development Programme (ADP) at Servol whilst others come from mainstream schools where they
have been detected as being in need of remedial literacy classes. Their literacy skill needs to be
improved if they are to successfully take advantage of further skills training, the world of work and
continuance of their education.
