The past few days have been busy. We are deep in talks to try to get some bridge financing for YOU. We had a board meeting yesterday that was productive and useful. But as it stands, YOU’s activities will be reduced to the bare bones come Monday. We are doing what we can to get the word out, meet with as many people as possible and brainstorm ideas. The story about YOU’s financial difficulties is creating some complications, since the headline was misleading. It leads people to believe we will definitely be closing. This is not the case. We will be operating with a few staff, keeping the doors open and doing what we can to resume activities as normal down the road. We considered asking the newspaper for a correction or clarification but decided against it. In the end, people feel the story served to illuminate our plight and draw attention to our cause. Indeed, we have had calls from all over. At the board meeting yesterday, our founder Betty Ann Blaine prayed for us. Hopefully, these prayers will work.

This video was shot recently in JA. I have no comment on the song itself, it’s fine, but the video is just a good, accurate portrayal of some aspects of the sights you see in urban Jamaica.
