DESPITE the adverse weather, the country has been experiencing recently, citizens are still making an effort to bring Christmas cheer to children and communities across the two islands.
On Sunday, a masked Santa Claus and helpers braved the rain to distribute treats in Central and South Trinidad.
The treat was organised by Neal Pollard of Divy Prakaash Ka Sangeet radio station, Carli Bay Kali Temple and VIP studios also known as Zogi.
This is the second such treat being organised by the radio station.
Pollard told AZPNews.com that the station has always been doing charity work and the first treat was done in 2019 but without the pomp of music trucks.
The treat distribution on Sunday began around pm in Chaguanas, continued down to Claxton Bay, Gasparillo and ended in Penal around 11 pm.
Some 500 treat bags were given out to children.
Pollard said another distribution was being planned for Christmas Day in the northern areas and a few in Central that they missed.
He said another 500 bags will be given out and that starting time would be at 8 am.
Both children and parents were delighted to receive the treats Pollard added.
