‘I JUST WANT TO HELP’

Debbie James, an author and educator and the only Jamaican living in the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, will be boarding a flight home today with bittersweet emotions. Moved by the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa late last year, James, who is originally from Morant Bay, St Thomas - and who is also the chairperson of the Media Trust, which oversees both radio and television in the Falkland Islands - managed to raise the equivalent of J$2 million there to aid one local family that lost their home in the storm.
