Raising money for the Busy 2020 Helping Hands Foundation, a
foundation dedicated to reaching children and young people to tackle issues
such as violence, poverty and lack of health care access, Busy Signal brought
together entertainers as well as community stakeholders who collectively agreed
that together, they can make a difference.
Performances by Christopher Martin, DMajor, Exco Levi, and
Ikaya demonstrated the will of younger generation artists to make a difference
in the lives of the youth. This project
will not only benefit people from St. Ann’s Bay, but the entire Parish of St.
Ann and neighboring Parishes (Trelawny and St. Mary) as citizens from
neighboring Parishes visit the St. Ann’s Hospital as well.
Speaking to media, Busy said “it is important that the youth
and the community know and understand that yes we are doing well in our
careers, but we haven’t forgotten where we come from, and we are determined to
give back to our community … to make it a better place for those coming up
after us.” Echoing Busy’s sentiment is
Ikaya who added “some of the kids from this community are going to be doctors
in the future. A small gesture from us
today will go a long way tomorrow!”
Launched in April, 2015, the Busy 2020 Helping Hands Foundation
has worked with and donated much needed medical equipment to the St. Ann’s Bay
Regional Hospital in an effort to make medical access readily available for
people in that area of Jamaica.
Donors outside of Jamaica who wish to make a contribution
