El Salvador will send 3 humanitarian aid planes to Jamaica tomorrow.

More than 300 rescuers will take part in this mission, and we will send over 50 tons of supplies to support those affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.

“God loves a cheerful giver.”

@nayibbukele Thank you El Salvador.

Our farmers needs attention not just talk.

[Dr Dayton Campbell @DaytonCampbell]

Agriculture is in crisis. Help needed for the farmers.

[Mark J. Golding @MarkJGolding]

We have consulted with the farming community and have developed a raft of measures that can mitigate against what could turn out to be a heinous and misguided action - if the farmers of Jamaica are to get a fair deal.

[PNP Jamaica @JamaicaPNP]

Jamaica must become the agricultural powerhouse of the Caribbean. It's time for us to get serious about agriculture once and for all. Last year, our Shadow Minister of Finance, Julian Robinson, MP, emphasized the critical need for increased investment in agricultural research and development to unlock its full potential.

We need research to produce more productive seedlings which are resistant to disease and the climate variability farmers are experiencing today. We need to look at our existing facilities and resources, how we leverage the work being done at Bodles and SRC, to ensure that farmers have access to cutting edge technologies, farming methods and seedlings. These are institutions that should be a priority for funding.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

Indicative of the increasing cost of this critical input.

[Tineykaywhite @tineykaywhite]

I am in Elderslie (border of St. Elizabeth & St.James) . I saw this sign, I became curious and asked what is a Fertilizer Bank. I was told it is where farmers can come and get fertilizers for their garden & get a payment plan to pay for them.

@2Brushie Toll Gate today. Makes no sense. Only loss or productive hours.

[Victor Wright @victordwright]

This SOE check point at Toll Gate in Clarendon is a total waste of time/productivity. 30-45 minutes delay over two miles of traffic and it’s midday. Can’t solve crime Soh!
