They believe because we stayed

Keith Duncan, co-chair and project sponsor of Project STAR, spoke about work done in the inner city in an area called No Man’s Land, which separates two opposing garrisons. He said he saw tears flowing as residents crossed the street for the first time in years to work on a community Labour Day activity. He related that due to the ongoing Project STAR programme, created under his presidency of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica, they have been winning the confidence of community members. “They believe because we have stayed,” he said.
