By investing in their education, we invest in the future of our community. I extend sincere thanks to Montego Bay and beyond for making this festival a resounding success.”
Highlighting the launch was a captivating performance by a dance troupe from Glendevon Primary, showcasing Montego Bay’s rich talent and creativity.
