KINGSTON, Jamaica— Generation 2000 (G2K), the young professional affiliate of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), recently donated a dozen tablets to students across Jamaica.

According to a statement from the group, equipment was also donated to health facilities to help parents and communities cope with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.

The tablets were gifted across five constituencies as part of G2K’s Christmas outreach initiative, #G2KDelivers.

The constituencies were South East Catherine, South West Catherine, North Clarendon, South West St Ann and North Trelawny.

The group said the programme, which was the brainchild of President Ryan Strachan, also made stops at the Waterford Health Centre in St Catherine, where a refrigerator and a microwave oven were presented.

Recreational items such as footballs, basketballs, and other educational supplies, were also donated to The Sunbeam Children’s Home in St Catherine.

“Students, especially in rural areas, have been facing significant limitations in accessing online learning platforms and G2K used the initiative to help reduce the inequalities while facilitating teaching and learning,” Strachan said.
