Recently
guests enjoyed the perfect harmony of Jamaica’s National Chorale which rang out
in the gardens at the residence of Spanish Ambassador Hon. Josef Maria Bosch
Bessa and Mrs Gonzalez de Bosch. At the Foundation Day of the Indian Council
for Cultural Relations hosted by Indian High Commissioner Hon Sevala Naik and
Mrs Naik, we listened to the fascinating journey of Errol Johnson, one of the
many Jamaicans who studied in India on scholarships from the Indian government.
Last week, the American
Friends of Jamaica (AFJ) presented over US$700,000 to various charities. The
organisation is made up of former US Ambassadors to Jamaica and other
supporters. New York-based Jamaican
Beverley Nichols donated US$500,000 for the renovation of the Chapleton
Hospital and the creation of a new wing which will be named in her honour.
AFJ Founding Member and Board Director Ambassador Sue Cobb noted the strong support of members and well-wishers: “Beverly deserves such credit and I hope she is
a role model for others have done well in the USA. Kenny Benjamin hosted a
beautiful reception and dinner for us the night we arrived and Caron [Chung AFJ
CEO] kept us busy day and night. Wendy Hart is the best President AFJ has ever
had! She works hard on it and it shows … It also helps that she's brilliant!”
