SEVEN schools across Western Jamaica still grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa’s devastation last October are poised to benefit from a major rehabilitation initiative by Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant. It will mean refurbished canteens to support students and boost recovery efforts at the institutions.

The beneficiary schools include Rusea’s High in Hanover, Crawford Primary in St Elizabeth, Port Maria Infant in St Mary, Munro College in St Elizabeth, Westwood High in Trelawny, Providence Heights Infant in St James, and Savanna la Mar Infant in Westmoreland.

Golden Krust Vice-President of Marketing Steven Clarke, who made the announcement during a post-Cabinet media briefing at Jamaica House in St Andrew on Wednesday, highlighted that many schools across western parishes were still struggling with significant infrastructural damage.
