KINGSTON, Jamaica—As Jamaica pauses to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21, a different image of fatherhood is emerging across homes and communities.

It is not only the father who provides financially, but the one who attends Parent-Teacher Association meetings, assists with homework after a long day at work, prepares meals, buys school supplies, listens, encourages, disciplines with love, and remains present even when life becomes demanding.

For fathers such as 58-year-old health professional Gerald Miller, 58-year-old technical officer at the Jamaica Information Service, Kavanaugh Campbell and 33-year-old senior advisor and consultant with the Government of Jamaica, Dr Daren Johnson, fatherhood is not a seasonal celebration.
