Gerry Darichuk brought an army of friends of Jamaica to present the 2nd phase of a five phase project to us as an Airdrie prospect. This second part is to improve first response, child and maternity medical services to the town of Negril on the most western point of the island. 
 
The proposal is to make a donation of $250 000 for equipment, facilities and training. Starting with an initial seed fund from the Rotary Club of Airdrie, which will be matched by Jamaican Society in Canada, adding all the multipliers from the Canadian Government foreign programs, District and The Rotary Foundation, the full amount for the donation could be made available in June 2019.
