Jamaican Diaspora: As many of you may know, I have been advocating for the concept of wealth creation for our community. With this in mind, this letter is intended to introduce you to an investment opportunity. The government of Jamaica has made food security and food stability among its highest priorities. Recognizing the absolute necessity of food to our basic existence, and the Government’s enthusiasm in support of ventures that advance the above mentioned policy, I am convinced that the Agro-industry will be the source of wealth creation for our people.

Jamaicans are outstanding as a people. We have captured international acclaim through our indomitable spirit as we attain a level of success of which no other nation of our size can boast. The winning spirit of our people is evident in the remarkable performance of the likes of Usain Bolt who rocked the world at the 2008 Olympics, Winston ‘Burning Spear’ Rodney who copped the award for this year’s Best Reggae Album at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

NEW YORK (JIS) Friday, April 17, 2009 – Jamaica’s Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator, the Honourable Dr. Ronald Robinson, is of the opinion that the Jamaica Diaspora Movement has not been affected by the change of government since September 2007. At the first in a series of community/town hall meetings at the Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, NY, Dr. Robinson said that the Jamaica Diaspora Movement has not been affected by the changing fortunes of political parties and continues to enjoy bipartisan support. Underscoring the work done by his predecessor Senator Delano Franklin under the previous administration, Dr. Robinson who now has portfolio responsibility for Diaspora Affairs, touted the progressive improvements seen in the Diaspora Movement. These he said included the creation of the Jamaica Diaspora Foundation, chaired by Professor Rex Nettleford and the Jamaica Diaspora Institute under the executive direction of Professor Neville Ying.
The 11:00 am worship service will be the first annual for the Union of Jamaican Alumni Associations (UJAA) and will be a fixed part of the calendar of events for new president, Karlene Largie.

Don Wehby, Minister without portfolio in the Ministry of Finance, has come out strongly in support of efforts to get Air Jamaica on a sound financial footing. In a statement issued today, the Minister emphasized that the combined set of actions which are being implemented at the airline are designed to save the country an average of US$150 million/approximately J$12.8 billion per annum and will help turn a loss-making situation into a break-even one. |
