Em­broi­dery artiste Stephanie Edghill’s youngest fans are her sons—Lu­cas, two-and-a-half years old, and Liam, just eight months. On­ly re­cent­ly, she and Lu­cas were work­ing on a key­chain to­geth­er for a new client; he was help­ing with the glue (don’t wor­ry, not the hot glue kind). Since Liam is too young to be hands-on, she puts him next to her in a laun­dry bas­ket “with some balls to play with. He en­joys that,” she says.

Krys­tle Phillips did not en­ter agri­cul­ture through pol­i­cy, train­ing, or even in­ten­tion; she ar­rived there by recog­nis­ing a gap that sits at the heart of one of Trinidad and To­ba­go’s biggest eco­nom­ic prob­lems: food im­ports. A “born and bred Laven­til­lean”, her ear­li­est ex­po­sure to agri­cul­ture came from her fa­ther, even though she did not recog­nise it at the time. She re­mem­bers her fa­ther as “an ur­ban farmer” who sold eggs, chick­ens, peas, and oth­er goods to sup­port the house­hold. To­day, that mem­o­ry sits with her not on­ly as a guid­ing force in her line of work, but couched with­in a much larg­er na­tion­al is­sue, one where lo­cal agri­cul­tur­al pro­duc­tion re­mains un­der­de­vel­oped, and bil­lions are spent an­nu­al­ly bring­ing food in­to the coun­try.

Your safe­ty on the road does not be­gin when you shift in­to dri­ve; it ac­tu­al­ly comes down to the crit­i­cal few min­utes be­fore you even turn the ig­ni­tion key. Get­ting in­to the dai­ly habit of per­form­ing a “two-minute walka­round” can pre­vent un­ex­pect­ed blowouts, sud­den en­gine fail­ure, and in­cred­i­bly un­safe dri­ving con­di­tions. It on­ly takes a mo­ment, but it can save you hours of stress.

For some chil­dren—and even some adults—find­ing their voice is not al­ways easy. How­ev­er, the Pup­pet Palace work­shop is prov­ing that, with a lit­tle imag­i­na­tion and a pup­pet, it can make all the dif­fer­ence.
