Cable and Wireless to continue support for Penn Relay teams

Telecommunications giant Cable and Wireless Jamaica extended its annual link with high schools and one tertiary institution by contributing money to offset expenses associated with their participation in the Penn Relays. The prestigious event will run from Thursday, April 24 through to Saturday, April 26, at the Pennsylvania University in Philadelphia.

From a $550,000 package, 18 institutions, including non-traditional high schools such as Mona and Clan Carthy, received donations of $30,000 each, plus a $1,000 ‘Jus Talk’ calling card, that will give each school 200 minutes of talk time to facilitate communication with their people here in Jamaica.

“Jamaica has a very strong tradition … I’m sure that you will do well. Do the very best you can for yourself and Jamaica,” encouraged Green, an Australian who has been with C&WJ for eight months now.

Indications that this tradition will be maintained were quite strong amid the gathering at C&W yesterday, with many of the country’s top juniors representing their schools, including St. Jago High’s Yohan Blake, Calabar High’s Ramone McKenzie, Manchester High’s Natoya Goule, Vere Technical’s Jura Levy and St Andrew High’s Latoya McDermott.
