Over the last six weeks I was away on vacation in Jamaica. Before leaving the O65 Division gave me some gently used soccer equipment which I supplemented with additional items. After arrival in Jamaica, I found that my local Pennants district team had been dismantled. As a result, I donated the equipment to two local schools, Clarendon College and the John Austin All Age School.
Clarendon College is the oldest and largest secondary education institution in Clarendon, Jamaica, catering to over 1,900 students. Clarendon College has a rich history in soccer/football and won the Oliver Shield in 2019. The Oliver Shield is the symbol of schoolboy football supremacy in Jamaica.
The presentation was made to Mr. David Wilson, the principal of Clarendon College school on June 10, 2022. He expressed gratitude for the donation and said that the equipment would be put to good use.
The second donation was made to Carlene Gordon the vice principal of the John Austin All Age School. She was thankful and expressed her gratitude.
