Born in Jamaica in the year 1981 to parents Iva and Vincent Hunter in little district called Lewis Store my childhood years are filled with fond memories. I began school at an early age since my mother was a teacher at Highgate Hall Age Primary in Highgate, St. Mary and I was drawn to music as my dad had a small sound system that would fill the air with Bob Marleys albums every Sunday evening after church. Successfully passing my Common Entrance Examination in 1992 I moved on to St. Mary High School then subsequently to Marymount Business College and pursued additional Business Courses. Read More...
Tun Up The Ting This Labour Day (Letter of the Day)
The economic conditions of many countries, especially Jamaica, have forced even middle-class citizens to reduce the anticipated monthly shopping spree to day-by-day purchasing, in other words, hand-to-mouth livity, while others merely exist by living on a prayer.
Regardless of your situation, remember that there are others out there who are less fortunate, and if there is any assistance you can give, please stretch out a hand or two. Giving is not limited to money.
Labour Day 2014 is approaching and there are a number of projects you can participate in to help build a community. You can paint a school, help build a small dwelling for someone to live in, or just cut grass and clean up a playing field.
We are Jamaicans and this is our country. It makes no sense complaining every day that politicians aren't doing their jobs when we, the citizens, aren't doing our part. Let them see that it is not only when it's 'ink finger time' that we can put on our colours and gather in the square. Let them see that we are united beyond the orange and green and tremble in their boots when it is time to give out free salt fish and flour.
Once you have children living in this country, you need to start thinking what I can do to help my RACE. The time for change starts now, and it begins with each and every one of us.
Are we going to sit and watch life go by or at least try to prepare a legacy for our grandkids? The vision of the country is US, yep, US. We live in it every day! We are stronger than we give ourselves credit.
So this Labour Day, sign up, show up and tun up the projects right across Jamaica.
