Skunk Nation brings Car Enthusiasts together for a Cause

First of all, what is Skunk Nation? Skunk Nation represents Jamaica’s ‘Stinkest’ (Eye catching), finest machines a.k.a. cars. Whether it’s the paint job, rims, tints etc., it is all about the time, effort, skill and vision becoming reality while building and supporting local at the same time.

Two Saturdays ago, Skunk Nation had their annual ‘Xmas Charity for the Kids’ that Suga attended at Susie’s Bakery in South Dale Plaza, which brought Skunk rides by different teams across Jamaica together for a good cause.

Persons were asked to bring gifts to drop in their gift drums or to make monetary donations.

Cars were on display of course and Dancehall Artiste, Tanto Blacks made quite a memorable appearance. It was an exciting night of dancers, music and freestyling.

Throughout the night as the liquor flowed and the vibe got ‘rich’, persons felt more inclined to drop money in the boxes carried around by Skunk Nation’s team of girls.

Donations such as strollers and more were handed over to Mary’s Child Girls Home last week with the aid of sponsors, Truck Stop, Sparkles Productions, Chun Scents, Ship n’ Go and KMS Distributors to name a few.

Rotary, Rotaract and the Church help Kids get to School in Negril

Screenshot_2015-10-19-20-02-50-1

St. Anthony’s Kitchen is sponsored by Mary Gate of Heaven Catholic Church and the Rotary Club of Negril.

The Rotary Club of Negril runs a ‘Get Kids to School’ Programme, where kids are given breakfast and then they are taken to school.

Director Rasheena featured in the cover picture from the Rotaract Club of Negril, volunteered to serve at the kitchen a few weeks ago.

A thrift shop exists there as well for anyone to shop, including school items sold at a reduced cost.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and this is an awesome initiative and opportunity for the school children. Education is the key to success.

Kudos to the Mary Gate of Heaven Catholic Church, Rotary and Rotaract Clubs of Negril, who continue to serve and play their part in building a better Jamaica.

You can keep up with other good deeds and see how you can help by following the Rotaract Club of Negril’s Instagram page, ‘rotaractclubofnegril’.
