CHILDREN in the paediatric ward at the St Ann’s Bay Hospital were not forgotten for Read Across Jamaica Day 2026.

KFC Jamaica took its activities to children in health-care and school settings, creating moments of connection, comfort and learning at the hospital as well as at Tarrant Primary School in St Andrew.

More than a reading exercise, the initiative focused on creating safe, engaging spaces where children could feel at ease, participate freely and enjoy the experience, in keeping with this year’s Child Month focus on children’s mental and emotional well-being.
