RGM has built a relationship with some outstanding children’s charities over the past few years that have become close to our heart – and we’re privileged to be able to tell you a bit about the incredible work they do, in the hope that you too, will give of your time or resources to help make a difference – either to them or to other deserving causes.
We take a look at – or rather, a listen to – the music that makes Christmas in Trinidad and Tobago unique. You may think you know all there is to know about Parang until you read this article!

We hope that this edition of The RGM Cornerstone is one that you will enjoy…here’s wishing you and yours all the very best for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
