- motivation?

Motivation, inspiration, desire, and impulse. It has

multifarious names, and what you choose to call it is

completely up to you. The definition for this energy

however remains constant. Motivation can be defined

as the driving force or reason for your actions. To put it

simply, it's the "why" behind a decision . Why do you

want to become a doctor, or drive the latest model of

Mercedes Benz? Maybe your dream is to give back to

the world, or it's._simply to live a1healthy and balanced

life. Whatever the endeavor m~y be, there must be a

pro;ect H.O.P.E

According to the World Population Review of 2019 thus far,
Trinidad and Tobago places at number 36 in the world for
Suicidal Rates with 13.6 suicides per 100,000, as the highest
in the region (out of 176 countries). Experts such as
Professor Gerard Hutchinson, Head of Clinical Medical
Sciences at U.W.I., tell us that suicide is multifactorial, that is,
there is never a single reason as to why one may think that
ending their life is the only way to end perpetual pain and
suffering. Suicidal ideation and suicide are regarded with
stigmas such as that the person is cowardly or does not care
about their family. These irrational statements cannot be
further from truth.

RCMH in collaboration with the Peer Counselling Association
(PCA), sought to create a greater awareness of suicidal
ideation, suicide and its stigmas through the pro;ect H.O.P.E
initiative (Hold On, Pain Ends) and our Suicide Survivor
Stories. Suicide Survivor Stories were real-life accounts of
persons who struggled with suicide, sharing their
experiences of coping with Suicide and Depression that
were published leading up to event. We started with the
U.W.I Community, where Dr. Chin Yuen Kee, counsellor of
CAPS (Counselling and Psychological Services) explained
that a more rigorous protocol has been instituted for
suicidal risk checks, as there was a 40% increase from
2016/2017 to 2017/2018 amongst U.W.I. students. Pro;ect
H.O.P.E was held in the Food Court Greens in U.W.I on
January 31st, 2019. It aimed to create avenues of support in
the forms of art, music, poetry, drama and presented
resources (Suicide Hotlines, Lifeline, PCA, CAPS) for persons
who may be struggling with suicidal ideation or suicide. They
may be simply neglected, passed in the street, taken for
granted when missing from class or are often dissolved in
desensitized conversations of merriment and fun, not
actively seeking out help for themselves.

"' _ _ _ _ _. ....______ ..■---- --- Pro;ect H.O.P.E provides a forum of support to let them
know that they are not alone, there are others in similar
+.I1~.,,t.,~·.... . ,• situations, and to make them aware of people, resources
. ,; ~,}t~ . -~ and organizations available to help. With the help of many
willing hands, the day was an immense success. From
beautiful art pieces depicting both pain and hope in suicide,
to spoken words that rocked us to our core, challenging the
aforementioned stigmas, to dances that melded our hearts
with empathy and understanding; they all coalesced to
create the powerful message, Hold On, Pain Ends. It all
climaxed as the founder, Anne Marie Ming Hon, of the
RCMH Executive, shared her personal struggle with suicide,
pain and her strength in overcoming. The audience and
even those huddled in nearby food courts listened
attentively as our message was made clear. The night ended
with a vigil where candles were lit and shared amongst
those present, in memory of those we have lost to suicide.

MEET THE CLUBS OF Inter-Varsity Christian

Fellowship, Mt. Hope

A non-denominational, non-sectarian,
Evangelical fellowship of all Believers in
the Lord Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to
know Christ and to make Him known,
through weekly meetings which consist
of worship, prayer and discussions on
biblical lessons on societal issues which
are related to the Word. One event of
our own was a discussion on Heaven
and Hell which was a joint meeting
involving both Mt. Hope and Main
Campus IVCF members.

The Art Society of Mt. Hope

A Non-Governmental Organisation that promotes artistic expression and creativity. Our events consist of the
annual Art Gala which provides a platform for artists to showcase their art to the public that would otherwise
be exorbitantly costly. Furthermore, "the Bed Time Stories" Initiative seeks to improve the health care
experience of the patients at the paediatric wards by providing entertainment and unstructured learning
through puzzles, crosswords and games . HAP is a fresher's party that uses several art themes to initiate year 1's
into medical school. Find us on facebook @ArtSocietyofMountHope

Formed in 1997 in order to provide a welcoming environment where
the Muslim population of Mt Hope could unite to practice Islam and

foster strong relations. The club engages in many activities
throughout the year, including hosting fundraisers for the Trinidad
and Tobago Cancer Society, organizing educational events for Islamic
Awareness week on campus, and our annual fund raising banquet and

graduate awards ceremony. Daily prayer is also conducted at Mt
Hope and members of the public are always welcome to join. For any
