Paul Barnett is involved in organizing almost every 'welcome' or 'thank you' event that is held for Jamaican diplomats starting or ending their tenure in Canada.His hospitality is steeped in the examples set by his parents who, on many occasions, had the founders of Ardenne High School, Reverend George and Nellie Olson, at their home as guests.As a child, he listened to their conversations and eventually became a very involved student at Ardenne High. He says the school gave him a second chance at life, literally.His love for the institution has fuelled his efforts to give back to his alma mater -- something he has been doing for 40 years. Paul Barnett, president of the Toronto Chapter of the Ardenne Alumni Association, the longest-serving president, tells Impacting Jamaica host Neil Armstrong about the importance of giving back or "paying it forward". He also discusses plans to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the alumni association. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
