Habitat for Humanity, Trinidad and Tobago

Habitat for Humanity® Trinidad and Tobago joins the country in mourning the loss of one of its greatest leaders; Sir Ellis Clarke. We are deeply saddened by this loss as Sir Ellis has always been a great champion of the work of Habitat. Sir Ellis served as Habitat’s first Patron and then in the capacity of Chairman of the Advisory Board. He was an active advocate as he hosted receptions, brought featured addresses, handed over keys to our home partners or just be present at one of our functions.

Sir Ellis has always been kind and gracious and in the words of Chanka Seeterram, Chairman of the National Board “He was a true servant of the people. He endorsed and promoted Habitat as he saw housing the poor as one of the best means to give back to humanity. He has truly served Habitat with distinction. His contributions will continue to impact future generations.”

We will all miss Sir Ellis as he was always only a phone call away, ready and eager to advise or assist in any way possible. Sir Ellis led by example and he did not ask of anyone that which he was not willing to do himself. It is this sense of duty and service to humanity which truly expressed his work, he answered the call to service and he served with distinction. Although he will be greatly missed, his legacy will continue and as we reflect on his life and work, his greatness will be remembered and his shining example will be emulated.

From your Habitat family, our sincerest appreciation for a job well done. Sir Ellis we bid you a fond farewell.
