Jamaicans Urged to Use Resources to Develop Country.

Ambassador to the United States, Her Excellency Audrey Marks has called on Jamaicans in the Diaspora to use their talents and resources to help in the development of the country.

she said

"We cannot allow the challenges to our society to stea1 our will; rather we must seek out the opportunities afforded by global communities and show to the world that we believe in Jamaica,"

The Ambassador was addressing a service to celebrate Jamaica's 48th year of Independence, organised by the Jamaica Association of Maryland (JAM), at the Baltimore Central New Testament Church of God on August 29.

she said

"To fulfill Jamaica's promise that was envisioned at Independence in 1962, a promise of a Jamaica with safe and secure communities, a Jamaica that is the perfect place to live, a perfect place to visit, and a perfect place to transact business, the government has embarked on a new and different socio-political and micro-economic pathway,"

She argued that Jamaica is determined to become the model for economic revitalisation in the hemisphere.
