Cherine and R.O.C. Jamaica Launches Scholarship 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.
