A gift for you

DR Zoe Simpson (left), executive director of the Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation, and Frances Fulton (2nd left) programmes analyst at American Friends of Jamaica, express appreciation to Allison Dexter, marketing manager of Cari-Med Limited, and Martin McCarthy, promotions coordinator at Kirk Distributors Limited. The occasion was a presentation ceremony at the Women’s Centre on April 12 at which the companies handed over a joint donation of over $300,000 worth of personal care and food items. The care packages were earmarked for young women attending the 2019 Teen Mothers Symposium hosted by the Women’s Centre and American Friends of Jamaica.
