Story
Situated in a remote part of St Thomas Jamaica, is the community of Richmond Gap. This was once a thriving community with a large population of people. However, due to lack of employment opportunities, coupled with the lack of educational, social and recreational facilities, there has been a steady decline in the population.
My mission is to organise initiatives and community development programmes and projects that will assist in halting this decline in the population and thus help to breed new life back into this once vibrant community.
To commence this process, I am spearheading a fund raising drive to initially raise $500,000 Jam, that will help in the purchasing of a suitable plot of land for the purpose of building a Community Resource Centre.
This Centre will host a Library, the venue for a Saturday School, a Annual Summer Camp, Youth Club, Adult Educational Classes, Training in Home Economics, Annual Medical treatments in the form of Eye Tests, Dental Checks and General Health Checks for the people in the area.
The Centre will also be a venue to host various other social, recreational, cultural and educational events,

Any donation, however small, you can make towards this effort would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
