We are deeply grateful for the presence of the Ambassador of Brazil to Jamaica, the Deputy Head of Mission of the French Embassy, Minister of State in Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Jamaica, and the generous support of Novia McDonald-Whyte, Karen Kranenburg, Heidi Lalor, Sagicor Investments, Seabed and Select Brands.
