Beyoncé Partners With UNICEF to Bring Safe Water to Children in Remote Areas in Burundi, East Africa NEW ORLEANS, June 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Global entertainer and humanitarian, Beyoncé has teamed up with UNICEF through her BeyGOOD philanthropic arm to announce the launch of BEYGOOD4BURUNDI, a multi-year partnership to provide safe water to the most vulnerable children in Burundi, known as the “Heart of Africa.” The partnership will support programs to improve water, sanitation and basic hygiene practices in the hardest-toreach areas of the landlocked East African nation, where nearly half the population has no access to safe water.

The water crisis in Burundi is a crisis for children.

When children have to rely on unsafe water, they become weak, malnourished, and susceptible to water-borne diseases, which are among the leading causes of death in children under five.

In order to walk for miles in search for wells, the lack of water also forces children to miss out on school. The burden of fetching water falls disproportionately on girls, who risk attacks along their journeys. for full story visit www,visionnewspaper.ca

News Tribute to Lady Cooke – The Jamaica/Caribbean Network of Rural Women Producers (JNRWP/CANROP)

Lady Ivy Cooke widow of the late Sir Howard Cooke former Governor General of Jamaica was an outstanding Jamaican woman.

Like her late husband, she was first a school teacher and a farmer.

She continued in the spirit of voluntarism and took pride in serving in many areas of national life. It is not surprising therefore that when she was approached to be the patron of the Jamaica Network of Rural Women Producers (JNRWP), she willingly accepted.

At every opportunity she proudly reminded the group that she was a country girl and a farmer. While they smiled at her candidness,

they felt comfortable in her presence even as they basked in the beauty and grandeur of Kings House and enjoyed the sumptuous meals which sometimes included products from their garden.

From all accounts Lady Cooke and Sir Howard were avid back yard gardeners. They also personally supervised the maintenance of the grounds of Kings House during their tenure 1991-2006.

Lady Cooke was therefore the founding patron of the JNRWP. The network actually started as part of the Outreach component of the Vice Presidency for Research at the then newly founded College of Agriculture, Science and Education, (CASE). The main sponsor was the Inter American Institute for co-operation in Agriculture (IICA).

The then Bureau of Women’s Affairs (now, the Bureau of Gender Affairs) was a major partner in its formation. The Trustee of the organization came from the Rural Agricultural Development Authority

a collaborative partnership existed in their relationship.

(RADA).

The condition of Rural Women In recent years there has been increased interest in the role of women in economic and social development and the inequality between men and women.

However, the data on women’s work and economic contribution is incomprehensive despite the improvement in gender awareness worldwide. Even when the data is available, it is not used sufficiently by planners especially as it relates to women in agriculture and rural development. Moreover, not so long ago women were not able to access credit from banks if they were not accompanied by their husbands.

Lady Cooke demonstrated that as the female partner in her household her decision making powers were not limited and her opinion mattered. She was therefore an ideal patron for the Network which included women from all levels of the society at varying socio economic and educational achievements. Moreover, Lady Cooke made her residence available for all the major functions of the Network including the celebration of International Rural Women’s Day, and even for meetings. Of course she must have had the blessings of her husband as it was clear that

The Jamaica and Caribbean Networks of Rural Women Producers In addition to the decision taken at Beijing to honour rural women in 1995, IICA, in collaboration with CASE conducted a survey in Jamaica in order to determine how best to empower Jamaica’s rural women. Based on the results of that survey the decision was taken to equip Jamaica’s rural women to become self-reliant so that they may be empowered to improve their socio-economic status and by extension that of their communities and the country as a whole.

IICA and other organisations including the Rural Agricultural Development Authority, (RADA), launched the Jamaica Network of Rural Women Producers under the distinguished patronage of Her Excellency, the Most Honourable Lady Cooke in May 1999.

IICA, Jamaica seeks to support agribusiness and micro-enterprises development with emphasis on the participation of women and youth in agricultural development.

Among the strategies to achieve this objective is the promotion of a rural women network in Jamaica that would be linked with networks in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Caribbean Network

(CANROP) was launched in July, 1999. In her capacity as the Patron of the Jamaican Network Lady Cooke was in full support of this expansion.

As a farmer herself, Lady Ivy Cooke was very supportive to the rural women producers. She was a gracious host, a kind and helpful person, who never forgot her roots nor lost touch with the common folk. According to Prime Minister Andrew Holness, "Lady Cooke served the nation well. She was passionate about education, child development, guidance and counseling." She also contributed to national development by facilitating the progress of the Rural Women Network of Jamaica and the Caribbean.

The senior international correspondent of the Vision Newspaper Canada, Hopeton O Connor-Dennie paid tribute to Lady Cooke on her passing referring to her as “someone who stood by her husband through thick and thin, a woman of grace and a model of dignity” – a most fitting tribute to a most deserving daughter of our Jamaican Soil which the rural women networks fully endorse.

Jamaica and the Caribbean are better off because of her tenure on this rock. Walk good my friend – Lady Sylvia Lucille Ivy Cooke!!!

Perspective: Attempts to Defame Bill Cosby Fail? accepting such delay.

As was the case of O.J. Simpson, " If the glove does not fit, you have to acquit." The mistrial is therefore not surprising.

A unanimous verdict would have been virtually impossible ... there were too many unanswered questions.

We may never know what the true motivations are to defame one of the world's most famous screen idols and stars but one thing is sure "God shines on the just and the unjust".

Colour Blind Do not misunderstand my position, this is not an endorsement of wrongdoing in any shape or form or from or shade ...whether blue, purple or other colours of the rainbow. The God I serve is colour blind.

Why wait until Crosby has reached the sunset of his life to make such allegations?

The jury had real difficulty

Cosby's case is different but has similarities .. it is the trial of a prominent, African American who is believed to have fame and fortune ...in short he made it big. This was believed by the jury to be consensual sex enjoyed between two adults. Why the bitterness years later?

Money The Root Was these accusers attempting to shake the proverbial money tree? The bible reminds us that money is the root of all evil.

May we add for completeness all mischief. Crosby was not considered poor by any stretch of the imagination. If he was poor an old Joe, would this case be brought to court? In my perspective the jury had no

choice but to be divided. Reasonable people are expected to think and behave rationally.

This is what obviously unfolded in that jury box.

Popular Female Blogger Jullie JayKanz Nominated For “Most Influential Blogger” Category At 2017 High School Merit Awards

Mr. Cosby's legal defense team did a superb job, and should be commended. Justice was on trial, and justice won.

Is this the end of Cosby's trials ? We hope all will accept the verdict/outcome and move on.

Cosby got a fair trial and deserves to enjoy his retirement undisturbed.

Personal As the father of girls only, my thoughts were somewhat mixed, but I trusted the justice system to deliver. I would not have supported my daughters if I believed they were being dishonest. Naturally, I had my personal views ... I am allowed that, am I not?

What is your perspective? This is ours. Let is hear from you.

Hopeton O'CONNOR-DENNIE is Senior International Correspondent for Vision Newspaper.

Popular female blogger Jullie Jay-Kanz has bagged a nomination for the maiden edition of the High School Merit awards.

Considering her relentless effort in creating multifarious entertainment and educative contents for Ghanaian readers especially the youth, the young nurse and blogger was nominated for “Influential Blogger of the year” category.

High School Merit Awards

is an award scheme designed to reward hardworking Ghanaian high school scholars in their respective fields and also to open young talented and influential students to education opportunities and entertainment platforms available around the world.

The award scheme also seeks to reward high personalities, influencers, art performers and writers who positively impact the youth of Ghana.

According to organisers if the event,Merit Awards GH, the award ceremony will come off on the 1st of September ,2017 in Kumasi and will see appearance of high profiled personalities and musicians as well Source: HelloGh Advertisment

JAMAICANS OVERSEAS ARE BEEN ASKED TO WALK ON A PLANK OF BROKEN TRUST

We have just witnessed at lightning speed laws that would impact Jamaican Diaspora Dual Citizenship Status being tabled and under review in parliament arising out of the Economic Growth Council Report (EGC). Of all the other important recommendations particularly strong anti-corruption laws none have gotten such attention and priority as the proposal to issue so-called "Global Diaspora Immigration Card" with very ambiguous

goals "like it will bond us as Jamaican", but "it is not a Passport" or "it will not allow you to vote".

So what is it? I have recommended a Special Diaspora Commonwealth Passport which is the only "Binding State Action" that will recognize dual citizenship of Jamaicans living overseas.

It would allow for ease of travel without Jamaican Immigration issuing you a visitor visa despite your foreign passport identifying you as born in Jamaica with

the location where you were born. I have also recommended a Public-Private Partnership framework with the government and the Diaspora back in 2014 as well as a Congressional Styled Budget Office to appraise government spending and project for economic, social and environmental value to the public yet none of these policies is been considered let alone given legislative priority.

How will a migrant card being promoted by the Mr. Lee-Chin, Chair of the EGC ensure “Binding State Action” to protect the economic and financial interests of Jamaicans overseas in light of the pervasive appetite of our governments to invade our sacred trust with impunity. Repeatedly, we have witnessed the attack and raiding of every institution of trust on the island with no desire to exercise any form of fiduciary responsibility to those who have invested in-

terest in those trust; Public Sector Pension Trust Funds and the National Housing Trust Funds (NHT) are core institutions of sacred trust.

The EGC claims it wants to promote growth and investment not realizing that an un-engaged Jamaican Diaspora already is by far is the largest investors through Direct Remittance Investments (DRI) which exceed “the total of the island's top 10 foreign exchange earners; bauxite/alumina, tourism, sugar, coffee, rum, bananas, apparel, cocoa, pimento and yams” and what is really needed is better management of that important national asset.

Therefore a formal engagement of the largest investor in the Jamaican economy should be more than just the mere love of country but a firm commitment to respect and honor the Government’s constitutional obligation to treats all citizens equally under the laws

by ensuring that Jamaicans overseas have the same rights to influence the trajectory public policies in the same way wealthy investor can and are currently doing.

The right to vote is the right of all citizens, period.

"We will be reshaping the Jamaican Diaspora Foundation and Institute into the 'Global Connect Jamaica', which will be a public-private partnership trust, geared towards encouraging the Jamaican Diaspora to invest in Jamaica," said Holness at the launch of the Jamaica 55 Diaspora Conference at the Office of the Prime Minister in St Andrew on Tuesday.

No amount of Diaspora Investment will improve the economy of Jamaica if we continue to elect governments with no desire to protect the interest of all it citizens both at home and abroad.

Music Mavado’s Protégés Flexx and Chase Cross release “Money Me Want” music video

With so much talent on the island of Jamaica, it is sometimes hard for artistes to distinguish themselves from others. However, that is not the case for international recording artiste Mavado’s Protégés Flexx and Chase Cross. Omar Henry also known as Flexx and Sameer Coombs also known as Chase Cross, are both signed to the Gully Side Label headed by their mentor Mavado.

These artistes has had their individual taste of success, but recently decided to join forces on the single, “Money me want”, produced

by Chimney Records. When collaborating in music there is always the importance of taking two good styles to

create a whole new sound .This was indeed the case with “Money we Want”, which instantly connected with those who share the poverty to privilege experience the artistes lyrics talked about. Since the release of the single it has been getting major radio rotations and was also featured in First Global Bank ad campaign; who cannot identify with wanting more money?

It is a universal truth.

Following the success of ‘Money me want”, the duo decided to do a video for said single that was released this week. The video directed by Cornelius Grant, was shot in Jamaica and captivates the audience

attention as it captures Both Flexx and Chase Cross happily working on a construction site, then moves to Chase Cross loading taxies at a taxi stand and Flexx as vendor moving around and selling goods. Many would say its not a typical money video but this video captures the essence which speakes to hard work being key to success.

The tittle song, “Money Me Want”, is just a glimpse of even greater things to come for Flexx and Chase Cross, as the single has been gaining momentum in Africa and afforded the duo the privilege of being booked in Gambia as the opening act for their mentor Mavado.

Look out for follow up single “Money a di topic”, produced by Lee Miller, another collaboration as well as singles from each artiste as they promises nothing but their all to fans and music lovers worldwide.

Yanique Curvy Diva Privates Instagram page after Rob Kardashian rumors TV Personality and Recording Artiste Yanique Curvy Diva Barrett on Friday afternoon privates her Instagram page after international media outlets caught wind of her relationship with Rob Kardashian. The couple met last year at the Brit Jam event in Montego Bay where The Curvy Diva was hosting alongside Blac Chyna who Rob accompanied to Jamaica. The two stayed in touch and have gotten closer over the last year but kept their relationship private to not cause trouble between Rob and Chyna.

A source close to the Curvy Diva told the media that Yanique completely supported Rob through all the Chyna drama and knew he wasn’t happy.

“She was always supporting him through all the stress that Chyna caused and gave him advice, he was very unhappy in

that relationship and she provided some much needed distraction, now with the world aware of their relationship they can both move on with their lives” The source stated The Curvy Diva has already been accepted by the Kardashian family who love the Jamaican culture. Kim and Khloe cook Jamaican dishes all the time and Khloe’s boyfriend has Jamaican family connections, Kim also has a Jamaican nanny taking care of her kids for some time now.

The Curvy Diva is very private about her personal life however and is considering making changes to travel plans to avoid additional media attention.

“Plans were in place for Yanique to travel to the US next week to spend more time with Rob but she is considering changing these plans because of all the attention that is now on them. She wants persons to pay attention to her growing musical career and not her private life“ the source added The Curvy Diva recently released a collaboration with International Reggae Star Kymani Marley called ‘Turn You Lights Down Low’ inspired by Bob Marley’s single of the same name.

JAMAICAN TEEN SET TO COMPETE AT MOBIL 1 SPORTSCAR GRAND PRIX WITH F4 U.S. CHAMPIOSHIP Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix July 8-9.

INDIANAPOLIS (July 3, 2017)Less than a month after competing at historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Formula 4 United States Championship Powered

by Honda will travel across the border to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, for its international race debut. More than 30 drivers, including Jamaican Justin Sirgany, are slated to compete at the

“We are excited to travel to CTMP,” said SCCA Pro Racing Vice President Steve Oseth.

“As the F4 concept is a recognized international brand, it makes sense for SCCA Pro to bring the series to what many consider the most challenging race track in North America. The competition that F4 U.S. brings is tailor-made for the Canadian open-wheel race fan and we are pumped to bring more than 30 cars for them to experience what F4 U.S. is all about.”

F4 U.S. Global Racing Group rookie Sirgany, 15, of Kingston, will compete for the first time in Canada.

“I'm so excited about racing in Canada,” Sirgany said. “Canada has such a rich history in racing,

with Canadian Tire Motorsport Park being an old Formula 1 track. I have never traveled to Canada so I am excited just to experience a country I have never visited before. CTMP looks like a very interesting track and can't wait to burn some rubber.”

Driving the No. 39 Bob Marley Foundation neon green and blacked striped car, Sirgany has one top-10 finish this season and his team GRG holds thirdplace in the F4 U.S. Championship standings heading into Event 3 at CTMP. Designed to be globally recognized yet an affordable step between karting and F3, the F4 U.S. car was designed to keep costs down while providing an ideal learning tool for young drivers who have never raced cars before. The series offers more value and benefits than
