Ricardo Burke engaging in outreach in St Thomas.
ADDING A mask and a bottle of sanitiser to his yearly rounds, Ricardo ‘Mr Volunteer’ Burke will be braving the unpredictability of the pandemic to ensure some 200 of the displaced population receive a warm dinner on Christmas Day.
While the 34-year-old philanthropist has made it his point of duty since 2014 to cater to the less fortunate all year long through his non-profit foundation called Yutes4Change, he amps up his support of the underserved during the Yuletide season.
With various projects planned in December, Burke, who prides himself as the Ghetto Santa, will also be delivering gifts on Christmas Day to unsuspecting children across several rural communities in his hometown of St Thomas, and in Gregory Park, Portmore where he now resides.
