Bob Trotta: Charity is at the Forefront of His Agenda

Spending time with his father’s construction kit became a key factor to the ultimate success of Robert Trotta, more popularly known as Bob Trotta, the person behind the multimillion-dollar real estate developments in Tuscany and Jamaica. Had it not been for the small construction business of his family, Bob Trotta would have been a lecturer of history or a teacher in their village back then.

Bob would not have helped a lot of kids to read and be passionate in going to school. But Bob was exposed to the world of construction early on and because of that, he was veered away from being a teacher or lecturer. He never looked back since then.

Trotta’s Dream of Contributing to the Education Sector

He would have been a passionate teacher. Bob Trotta’s ardor for education is best exemplified by his support to kids aged four and five years old in Jamaica. Through The Palmyra Foundation, Bob Trotta has given school text books and other educational materials. As the government of Jamaica does not supply learning aids to children in pre-school, Bob Trotta wanted to fill the gap and help eradicate illiteracy in the country.

Through the Palmyra Foundation, Bob Trotta helps provide books to children to prepare them for the first grade. According to sociologists and psychologists, pre-school learning is very critical to the development of children because it is during this time that the brain develops at its maximum capacity, making it the best time to teach kids. As one of the biggest sponsors of the foundation, Bob Trotta shares in the mission by improving children’s self-esteem.

Today, Bob Trotta is almost everywhere. However, he prefers to stay in Jamaica, a place he believes is where the nicest people in the world live. According to him, Jamaicans are very welcoming; they remain humble despite the massive wealth being brought to them by the members of the expat community who also prefer to stay in the country.

This is also why Bob Trotta is very dedicated to the Palmyra Foundation. The non-profit charitable organization started just recently in 2007 but because of the efforts of more than 100 international volunteers, including Bob Trotta, more than 100,000 books and 25,000 children across 14 parishes in Jamaica have received help.

Patience and Luck: Some Tools for Success

What sets Bob Trotta apart from the rest is his knack for choosing the locations of his developments. In addition, he knows what the luxury market demands and he delivers. In Tuscany and Jamaica, he created hotel accommodations that remain unparalleled up to now.

Despite the fame and luxury, Bob Trotta continues to be humble and generous. He remains active in his various businesses and investments but his charitable activities, not only in Jamaica, remain at the forefront of his agenda.
