On 14 January, the Bocas Lit Fest launched On the Day I Was Born, a limited-edition chapbook containing short stories and poems by student participants in a series of online masterclasses, part of the We Lit project funded by the JB Fernandes Memorial Trust. We Lit is a comprehensive programme that introduces students to books relevant to their lives, to help them write about their personal experiences and provide access to quality tuition designed to improve their academic performance in English Language and Literature. Printed copies of the chapbook were distributed to all the participating writers and also to the National Library and Information System Authority (NALIS) for distribution to public branch libraries across T&T.
