Celebrating Jamaican Independence while Supporting Education: Recap of the JWOF Independence Party and Upcoming College Planning Workshop
What a fantastic way to celebrate Jamaica’s Independence than with the vibrant JWOF community! The JWOF Independence Party on August 3 rd was a resounding success, filled with good vibes and most importantly, raising funds for a worthy cause: the JWOF Scholarship.
The party was a joyful celebration of Jamaican culture. The venue, La Veranda Restaurant and Bar pulsated with the rhythm of reggae, dancehall, and festival songs keeping everyone on their feet. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow Jamaicans, celebrate our heritage, and all for a great cause!
