"Jamaica needs to do a lot more to get their formers to move back and educate the population. "
Great insight Monk, and so true. I was in a taxi and the radio was playing Portia's acceptance speech - I wasn't really listening but what caught my ear was when she said "Jamaicans at home and in the Diaspora".
Diaspora - great word, evokes the feeling of they are away now but hopefully will return. Sadly, many do not. A pretty steady stream of thought that I get from many Jamaicans is their desire to leave their homeland in search of better opportunity elsewhere.
