Title

Children watching Newton Jackson perform

Description

"For his community - The children are delighted with the performance of one of their elders, Newton Jackson, whom they affectionately call "Mash-Up". He put on his act last Wednesday when he and other members of his community staged a concert for Social Development Commission personnel who visited their community, Lower Happy Grove in West Rural St. Andrew.

The SDC group visited the area to look at the conditions in which these people live and see what assistance they can offer. Lower Happy Grove is without electricity, pipe water, transportation, medical, educational and recreational facilities."
