Beenie Man gives back to his Craig Town community
Veteran dancehall artiste, Beenie Man, through his foundation,
donated scores of care packages to his home community of Craig Town on Saturday
(June 13).
The Beenie Man
Foundation collaborated with several corporate sponsors, including Monymusk
Rums, Grace Foods and MegaMart, to provide
COVID-19 relief packages to the vulnerable in the community.
Beenie Man
credits Craig Town as his home where he honed his skills and developed long-lasting
friends which he refers to as his family.
According to Beenie Man, returning
to the community was an emotional journey.
“It was a very emotional and
nostalgic journey going back to the community and home that bred a spectacular
man today. The love and support that was brought
out today is nothing short of love and unity within the community,” said Beenie
Man.
The veteran dancehall act was
joined by his daughters Desha, better known as “Desha Ravers”, and Ikrya, who assisted him in handing out packages as well as
bonding with members of the community.
This is the second such
activation for the Beenie Man Foundation which a week ago distributed care
packages in the Waterhouse community.
