10 THE WEEKLY GLEANER | APRIL 7 - 30, 2022 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | EASTER PRAISE Braata Folk Singers. CONTRIBUTED New Creation Generartion Int’l CONTRIBUTED Constance Finlayson President, Herbert Morrison Technical High School Alumni Association THE EASTER Praise fundraiser will be used to assist the Herbert Morrison Technical High School’s sports teams, with special emphasis on the football and track teams. The need for proper equipment and gear for training and competition is always there, as education is more than just books. The alumni association is also assisting with ongoing work to improve the playing fields that are currently being resurfaced. We hope for everyone’s full support, as proceeds from this concert will help the school and the athletes at Herbert Morrison Technical High School in achieving its mission. We thank you all for your support, and have a happy Easter! Andrea Swaby Secretary, Maldon High School Alumni Association EASTER IS a time to worship and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through songs, prayer and praise; hence Easter Praise, a concert fundraiser benefiting education and youth in Jamaica. Though Easter is celebrated by Christians, it’s also the time of the year when the lilies bloom and the sweet smell of sap lingers in the air, signalling the spring time and the joy of a new beginning. Some cultures enjoy fasting, while others enjoy traditional foods such as bun and cheese, fried fish with bammy, curried goat and white rice, a Caribbean tradition, if you will. We know you will find the time and reason to share in the joy of the season with us, as we continue to provide for the students at Maldon High School. Wishing everyone warm Easter blessings! Thanks for your support! Easter Praise returns! NEW YORK, NY: E ASTER PRAISE, the virtual concert fundraiser put on last year by a group of six charitable organisations, will be staged for the second time, this year, on Saturday, April 16, starting at 8.00 p.m. Jamaica’s Consul General to New York, Alsion Wilson, has again been named patron and the event will be staged by six partners, but with one change; Mount Alvernia High School Alumnae is taking a break and will be replaced by the Westbury United Cricket of Long Island. Back by very popular demand, the concert recounts the story of the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in song, dance and the spoken word. New Creation Generational International (NCGI), the stars of last year’s presentation, return in a supporting role to Braata Folk Singers, which get top billing this year. They will be joined on the virtual stage by an array of talent drawn from the membership of the stakeholder/ partners, straddling the remits from Alumni Associations and duly registered, charitable entities domiciled in the Greater New York Metro area. Conceptualised during the pandemic as organisations pivoted in their efforts to raise funds, the collaboration was so successful that it is safe to say that planning for the second staging started right after the last note was played by Ayon ‘DJ Binghy’ Kellier, a past student of Maldon High School and owner/operator of Killa-Star Sounds, Brooklyn, NY. for by the sus e to wn red, s so yon Braata Folk Singers, New Creation Generation Int’l headline Easter concert fundraiser
