COJO
Donates Nine Wheelchairs to Glenhope Nursery
Nine wheelchairs have been donated to the physically challenged children
at the Glenhope Nursery in Kingston by the Children of Jamaica Outreach
(COJO), a no governmental organisation in the United States. The wheelchairs
and a cheque for US$10,000 were on Tuesday presented to Superintendent
of the Nursery, Pauline Espute Brown by Gary Williams, who formed
COJO.
Lecturer in Gender
and Development Studies at the University of the West Indies (UWI),
Dr. Patricia Mohammed, believes that the presence of a greater number
of women in the police force could have a calming effect on the society.
She was presenting a paper on women's role in law enforcement on Wednesday,
at a symposium on the 50th anniversary of women in the Jamaica Constabulary
Force.
