Entertainment professionals across Trinidad and Tobago are known for giving back. Some remain very low key when it comes to their efforts and others yearn for the rest of the national community to  pitch in, offering of themselves in whatever way they can to help those most in need. Recently, we learnt that a media professional by the name of Jeanette Clarke- an employee at urban frequency SLAM 100.5FM was commandeering an initiative aimed at helping others, this after she herself had a major health scare that left her shaken.

ETCETERABUZZ.COM places the spotlight today on PROJECT 42.

Wondering what it is exactly? Well, as Jeanette informed us, after her encounter with two lumps in her breasts during Carnival 2013, the subsequent fear that washed over her and then the relief that came upon learning that the lumps weren’t cancerous, it became apparent to her that life is indeed precious. “This experience has made me look at people and things differently. This year I turn 42 on December 24th and I want to make a difference in the lives of others,” she said. Project 42 is the brainchild of Clarke – a woman who has been a part of the local entertainment fraternity by means of her marketing profession at Boomchampions 94.1FM and now at SLAM 100.5FM. 

The effort will span 42 days, leading up to Jeanette’s 42nd birthday on December 24th. She’s calling on friends, members of the general public and even artistes, musicians and simply anyone who has a heart to just, ‘GIVE’. 

“I want to encourage people to give of their time, their goods and groceries, toys, toiletries, clothing, a doctor’s visit, money, paint and whatever else they can afford to give,” said Jeanette. 

The initiative will not target the traditional children and teenage homes, poor houses and street dwellers as is the norm around Christmas time, but instead Jeanette said she and her team will deliver what is given to individuals and families interacted with, in a more personal way. A Facebook page set up with the name Project 42, will also showcase when items are being distributed to those in need. “We’ll be posting photos during the entire process so we’re encouraging people who are interested in being a part of this, to log on to Facebook and like the page for updates. 

Interested persons can contact Jeanette at 739-0987 or email her at jeanetteclarke41@gmail.com.
