About

Rachel Barrett Dolcine, a Jamaican living overseas, always wanted to give back to her country, a trait learnt from her grandparents. “One of the things I had on my list from I was very young was to give back to Jamaica,” she said. “I didn’t know how. I didn’t know when. I was in elementary school then. That seed of giving back was planted many years ago.” Today that dream is a reality. She is giving back to Petersfield in Westmoreland under the Joseph and Vera Douglas Family Foundation, in memory of her grandparents; and the current initiatives are rooted in their principles. Barrett Dolcine, in this episode of Impacting Jamaica, tells host Keisha Hill that the Foundation’s areas of focus include education, health and wellbeing, violence against women and women entrepreneurship.  Hosted on Acast.
