Sights and Scenes: For The Children Concert

Tuesday Social harks back to Couples Sans Souci in Ocho Rios, where Grammy Award-winning artiste Shaggy and reggae singer and songwriter Lila Iké hit the stage on Saturday, May 17, for the Issa Trust Foundation’s 20th Anniversary For The Children Benefit Concert hosted by media personalities Tami and Wayne Mitchell.

The event, which opened with a performance by Tessanne Chin’s Voice Box Performing Arts Group, included a message from Lady Allen, wife of the governor general and patron of the Issa Trust Foundation, and saw Shaggy inviting surprise guest Maxi Priest onstage for an unforgettable performance marked by joy, community spirit, and a shared commitment to giving back.

Proceeds support the Mary Issa Paediatric & Adolescent Health Centre.
