Dear Editor,
With the Jamaican public being inundated, on a daily basis, with bad news via the media, I thought it only fitting to seek to bring some balance and highlight some of the good that still takes place.
In my capacity as principal for the Victoria Town Primary School, in south Manchester, I sought assistance for some of my students who were successful in the recent GSAT.
Some generous citizens of this great country have stepped up and pledged assistance in the form of scholarships for all eighteen (18) of the students. In some instances, they will cover the entire high school year of the students, while some sponsors will assist in school fees and books for these students. The whole community thanks them.
They are:
1. Anneshia Myrie, vice-principal of Victoria Town Primary School
2. Aeon Mitchell and UNNA Jamaica
3. Dean Mighty of Christiana, Manchester
4. Doreen Lawson, proprietor of KDL Agricultural Supplies and Dormaine Trucking Limited
5. Member of Parliament Michael Peart
6. Nathalie Irving of JAMALCO
7. Tricia Elliott, teacher of Victoria Town Primary School
8. Violet Smith of S & V Development Limited
9. Norman Godfrey of Godfrey and Associates Limited
10. Garfield Whyte of Santorium Rentals
11. Kemar Foster of Silent Hill in Manchester
12. Marvin Meggie of Victoria Wholesale
13. Joseph Foster of Jamaica Drip Irrigation
14. Muriel Swaby, councillor for the Porus Division
15. Hopeton McCatty, retired engineer of WINDALCO
16. Rupert Reid of RW Reid and Associates
17. Howard Salmon, principal of Mandeville Primary and
18. Ingrid Simpson of Juici Patties Mandeville
A lovely transitional exercise was held at the school for these students under the theme "Developing Nation Builders through Education".
I sincerely believe that deeds of this nature should not go unheralded. With this mindset, despite the naysayers, there is still hope for our country.
