Cherine and R.O.C. Jamaica Launches Scholarshi​p Programme






Jamaican singer/actress Cherine through Reach One Child Jamaica, "R.O.C" has announced their R.O.C Scholarship 2013 initiative to assist parents of 6th grade students as they move into secondary schools this fall. The R.O.C Scholarships Program is open to 6th grade students in Jamaica regardless of sex, color, disability or religious background. The R.O.C Scholarship Program seeks to provide support to motivated students, who show potential for academic excellence, who are also actively involved in supporting their school/community but have a clear verifiable financial need. 



In a recent interview Co-Founder of Reach One Child Jamaica Mr. Patrick Lindsay shared "We believe the best opportunity for our young people is through a solid education and while we cannot assist everyone, we are trying to do our part to better enable a good education for some of our motivated students. R.O.C Jamaica has been supporting administrators through our school tours which have been well received over the years, so we are just moving forward through our new scholarship initiative to further our support."

Dancehall-Soul artist and Co-founder of R.O.C. Jamaica Cherine added, "The idea of helping students isn't new to us. We've been giving aid and supplies to students for more than 8 years without any fanfare. I am fortunate to reach and teach a lot of people through my music but I am a huge advocate of school and education, it's a solid foundation and we do have some of the best and brightest students right here in Jamaica."
R.O.C Scholarships are small, meant to be supplementary and will generally cover full tuition, uniform, school supplies and text-books. Aid will be given for the following school year. Applications are available via the new R.O.C Jamaica Website at www.reachonechild.org or can be obtained from participating schools. The deadline for all applications is JUNE 30th, 2013.

For more information about the R.O.C Scholarship please send an email to info@reachonechild.org

Iba Mahr's Video for She Cries released by Danger Zone!






Danger Zone Rebirth has released the thought provoking video and single She Cries, performed by Iba Mahr. The video was directed by Simon 'Sno' Thompson.

Early response to the video has been quite overwhelming with positive comments coming from fans and music lovers alike.

The visual depicts a female who is hurting from the many experiences that she has been through. The camera angles, editing, and concept are commendable and assist in effectively bringing the song's lyrics to life on screen.

In a release to the media, Iba Mahr explained the story behind the song She Cries.
'We're trying to send a message to women who continue to use their bodies as a marketplace to gain money. Basically women who might fall in that position to be mindful of the pitfalls because certain things can happen. It is really a song to enlighten people to refrain from what they are doing. This song reveals a different Iba Mahr', he explained.

She Cries is featured on the Mind Therapy rhythm project. Also featured on the rhythm are Jah Jah Watch Over Me by Vybz Kartel; Can't Get to Use You by Jigsy King; Press On by Natty King; Show them Love by Ras Charmer; Have to Sew by Capleton; No Detour by Chuck Fenda; Better Mus Come by Little Hero/Peas Head; I Will Always Be by Turbulence; Gone Away by Coco Tea; Fading Away by Cressy; and What You Don't Know by Danger Zone Rebirth recording artiste Shanhill.

The Mind Therapy is the latest from the Danger Zone Rebirth stables. Another project from the label is the single Somewhere in Africa performed by Dub tonic Kru featuring Iba Mahr.
