The New Jersey Jamaican diaspora organisation conferred the ambassador with its Distinguished Award of Excellence for Leadership and Diplomacy, hailing her outstanding investment in Jamaica’s advancement, both nationally and internationally. JON-J bestowed the award at a gala affair marking its 25th anniversary and Jamaica’s 61st anniversary of Independence. The gala event took place at the Newark Airport Marriott Hotel in New Jersey, on Saturday,August 26. In delivering the keynote address, after accepting the award, Ambassador Marks commended JON-J for capturing the hearts of the people in the communities it serves, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of many and having contributed significantly to nation-building. She remarked on the organisation’s “work improving the educational opportunities for many of our youths through the award of scholarships and educational resources, particularly in times of greatest need. “Its social assistance programme, including financial support for funeral costs to grieving families, providing food-related items to those in need and contributing vital equipment to Jamaica’s health system is to be commended,” Ambassador Marks stressed. Likewise, she commended the organisation’s “unwavering commitment and tireless efforts in empowering Jamaicans within your community, promoting our rich cultural heritage, and fostering a strong sense of identity and unity”. She noted that since inception in 1998, JON-J had become a beacon of inspiration and a vital resource for Jamaicans residing in New Jersey and its environs. “This significant milestone aligns with Jamaica’s 61st year of Independence, adding a profound sense of national pride to your anniversary celebrations.” Ambassador Marks reiterated her proposal that the association consider implementing a youth travel and mentorship programme – Upliftment, Learning, and Intervention through Foreign Travel (UPLIFT) - to expose young Jamaican boys, aged seven to 18, by hosting them and their parents with families in the United States who will introduce them to different experiences over a two-to-three-week period. Also receiving JON-J awards were US Congresswoman for Brooklyn, New York, Yvette Clarke, who received the organisation’s Public Service Award; Irwine Clare, the Community Service award; Jamaican actor and comedian, Oliver Samuels, who received the award for Arts and Culture. Dr. Robert Clarke was awarded for Health Care; Cecil Wright for Business; Jamaican balladeer Ritchie Stephens for Music and Culture; and Debra Simms for Law/ Criminal Justice. JON-J president, Owen Eccles, said the organisation which currently boasts six chapters in eastern New Jersey, would be expanding its chapters to cover the entire state of New Jersey. Lester Hinds/Gleaner Writer THE UNION of Jamaica Alumni Associations (UJAA), a United Statesbased organisation, is hoping to raise US$20,000 to help send an 11-member team to the upcoming seventh First Global Challenge (FGC), an Olympics-style robotics competition to be held in Singapore from October 7 to 10. UJAA IS hoping to send eight students, two coaches and a chaperone to the event. However, according to the president of UJAA, Donovan Wilson, failure to raise the needed funds may result in a smaller contingent going to the challenge. The total cost of sending the team to Singapore is US$90,000. Wilson told The Gleaner that last year an 11-member team represented Jamaica at the challenge and the goal was to send a similar team this year to the event. The students are drawn from Hillel, Wolmer’s Boys’ School, Glenmuir and the American Institute of Science. Wilson said a request has been made to the Jamaican Government for support but so far the association has not received an answer. UJAA has been undertaking sending teams to the challenge for several years. Wi lson said the Jamaican Government provided some assistance in 2017 but did not provide any help last year. “Everyone agrees that STEM education is the future and the robotics competition is one way of exposing Jamaican students to technological developments taking place,” he said. Wilson said he was appealing to members of the community to assist in sending the team to Singapore as it would not only benefit the students taking part in the competition but Jamaica as a whole. He said it was of paramount importance that Jamaican students be exposed to robotics if they are to succeed in the future. The challenge is held annually with participation from some 140 countries. The 65-member umbrella organisation of alumni associations of schools in Jamaica – from basic to tertiary – has been consistent and deliberate in ensuring that Jamaica participates wherever in the world First Global founder, Dean Kamen, finds a sponsor to stage this event. This year, the challenge went to Singapore. UJAA has been the primary sponsor since the FGC began in 2017. It has always been UJAA’s contention that the programme provides Jamaican students with exposure to a once-in-alifetime experience that not only allows them to engage with students from across the globe, but combines their accomplishment with encouragement and pride as true ambassadors of Jamaica for Jamaicans globally.
