Coryse Wright, an Upper Sixth Form pupil at Speyside High School, (Trinidad and Tobago) has won the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Bridging Borders through Art Competition with her piece entitled ‘Solar Cooler’.

Wright’s achievement has actually taken the school’s name as far as the executive office of United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in New York, where her painting now hangs.

It was presented to the UN Secretary General by T&T’s Ambassador Eden Charles, head of the UN Mission.
Wright, who was born in Betsy’s Hope, Tobago, said she was happy about what she has accomplished .
