Buju Banton
Just under a month ago, the Charities Authority in Jamaica denied the application for the registration of the Buju Banton Foundation presumably because of the singer’s previous conviction in the United States. Thankfully, that hasn’t stopped the veteran Dancehall singer from continuing on his path to help alleviate the struggles of some of the disenfranchised youth of Jamaica.
He recently showed his commitment with his donation of a commercially viable poultry/egg layer business to the Sunbeam Boys Home in St. Catherine. Banton, whose real name Mark Myrie, took a personal interest in the home last year and even donated his JMD $3 million top prize from the Jamaica Festival Song competition.
