Youth conference promotes change in Jamaica
From Aug. 3 to Aug. 8, more than 50 Jamaican-Canadian youth joined delegates from the United Kingdom and the United States at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica to address issues affecting the nation.

Although the diaspora meets every two years to discuss initiatives to aid the country, this was the first year youth were engaged in the overall vision.
