Port Antonio, Portland

Dozens of students from communities across Portland on Saturday enjoyed a special treat hosted by a team of volunteers from Atlanta in the United States (US).

Dubbed 'Field-Day Kid's Fun Day', the summer treat, now an annual event, reportedly started in 2019 after a member of the US group was awarded a grant. Following the grant award, the decision was taken to host the event in Jamaica as a special treat for children in Port Antonio, Portland.
