To our family, friends, and the whole community of Jamaica — our hearts are with you. The devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa has been catastrophic for so many.
And yet, the strength and resilience of our likkle island has been extraordinary. The way people have come together to support one another in times of great need has been deeply moving.
The true nature of the human spirit reveals itself in moments like these — when people instinctively reach out to help others, placing their neighbours’ needs before their own.
Out of many, one people.
Jamaica’s national motto represents unity across all cultures and backgrounds. But it also speaks to the profound compassion and love we hold for one another when life tests us most.
This is the strength of humanity at its best.
I see this strength time and time again — from the smallest daily gestures to the biggest collective efforts across the world. Humans supporting each other, offering a helping hand, a smile, a kind word.
Even in our digital world, connection remains our greatest strength. A small act of kindness, a shared meal, a word of comfort — these moments remind us what truly matters.
Let’s not forget how to be human. Let’s continue to stand with and support our communities — in Jamaica, and everywhere.
