Travel concerns surrounding the pandemic has resulted in closed borders in TT and mandatory quarantine in others. Still, a select few manage to slip across the borders with good reason, of course. Such is the case for two research students studying in Japan.
Afia Boney and Jonathan Ramtahal are the most recent recipients of the Monbukagakusho (MEXT) scholarship programme offered annually by the Embassy of Japan.
