Independence Day at Spanish Town
The residents of the Clifton community near Spanish Town experienced a special treat during this year’s Independence Day on August 6th, 2008. As part of the Youth Outreach project of the Jamaican Blue Star organization, Prof. Simpson and Instr. Fofinho along with several Capoeira students from Kingston
organized a Capoeira Roda and engaged the community’s children and youths while adults organized a fish fry and yard sale with goods and items donated by Mr. Pandit Sharma, President of Blue Star Jamaica.
The event was well received by commuters who managed to generate much needed income which helped to buy school utensils for the approaching term.
Mr. Pandit Sharma provided drinks and snacks for the kids and donated a desk for the newly constructed school building as well as many boxes full of children’s books.
Together Blue Star Jamaica and 
Capoeira Alafia were able to empower the community and encourage residents to organize themselves and take action towards their own economical, physical and spiritual independence.
