We are optimistic that this will grow into something much bigger and influence more children. This community has always been close to our hearts since is within the direct environs of our offices, we would like to wholeheartedly thank the members of this Alliance for this project and we look forward to continuing our support, as we positively impact the lives of the children and families of Tiger Bay,” Simone Pierre of Digicel stated.
