HSRT head dedicates Hummingbird Medal to members

'I FEEL honoured to receive this award on behalf of our 42 members, 40 in Trinidad and two in Tobago, who agreed almost six years ago to volunteer their services to assist families whose loved ones were missing.'

These were the sentiments of Hunters Search and Rescue Team (HSRT) leader Vallence Rambharat, upon learning on Wednesday that he would receive the Hummingbird Medal (Gold).

According to the Office of the President, the Hummingbird Medal may be awarded to any person (citizen as well as non-citizen) who has rendered loyal and devoted service beneficial to Trinidad and Tobago in any field of human endeavour or for gallantry or other humane action.
