- Your taxes are gone! Why Jamaica spent 1.3 billion on Harmony Beach Park. I was lucky to get a full interview with Dr.Carey Wallace, an Executive Director of Tourism Enhancement Fund, and asked him the question - Where does money go from tourism in Jamaica?
In this episode, you will find the answer to this question and using the opportunity, I would also like to share one of the examples: the story of the new face of Montego Bay, Jamaica. The story of Harmony Beach Park.

My girl outchea moving like a whole investigative journalist, bringing us the economic tea 😍👌🏾
I know right!
LOL
Awesome park.great for the city.it is a first world park montego bay is and the top
👏👏👏😅😅😅 i love it!
Listen.... investigation at it's best. I appreciate it.
This is what our people need and deserve. They need a park like this all over the Island.
Good job 👏
I am with you on this
Pay taxes and DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY from your politicians and perhaps you will see more projects like this.
I have been sending emails to many of the ministries in Jamaica for the past 5 years encouraging them to build more green spaces/parks for people to recreate on the island. I live in Maryland, US which is about the size of Jamaica. Maryland is filled with parks and activity centers for public use. Taxpayer dollars pay for these amenities. I am glad to see that the Government is doing something about this very needed change in society. I hope they build up some activity centers with swimming pools in the country too so that the children can learn to swim. Many boys used to drown in the river when I was growing up there as a child.
@@jojoyah_1236 correction maryland is alot bigger than Jamaica. Delaware however is the same size of the island and Connecticut is a bit bigger.
Who needs Gleaner or Observer when Jamaica has it's very own STAR? (see what I did there :)
Lizzy, very Clever...LOVE it...
😂😂
I said it before and I will say it again. The Jamaican Tourist Board should be paying you well. Your videos are better than any Infomercials they have. I had a fun time watching this. Smiles throughout the entire video. Great job Irena.
She did explain that working for the tourist board would mean telling us what they want us to hear. She prefers to give the positives and negatives of attractions and locations, which she has done admirably. (Tony)
Remember Irine is a professional journalist so she is knowledgeable as to the questions to be asked and how she can properly represent herself and utube channel 😉again am proud of her.. she's now a Jamaican resident...
I figured she is no ordinary amateur vloger. Good job
She's now a Jamaican resident yeah I wonder how that happened would love for her to go spend some time WITH THE LOCALS in SALT SPRING AND OTHER GANG VOILENT RIDDLE AREAS WHERE THERE'S NO BEAUTIFUL PARKS AND WELL ORGANIZED SECURITY TO PROTECT THE LOCALS .
I am so appreciative of Irena, in how you put such a positive vibe on Jamaica. I am a Jamaican living in the U.S. for the past 46 years who is planning on retiring in Jamaica in a few years. You are an ambassador for my country. For someone that wasn't born in Jamaica you represents Jamaica better than most Jamaicans, your videos make me so proud to be Jamaican, so thanks again.
Investigative JOURNALISM! Foreign to Jamaica but well needed due to the complicity of the local media.
Both political parties in Jamaica needs to work together for the betterment of Jamaica. This will enable the people to elevate themselves.
🙄 I’m sure 25% was skimmed. 10 million USD kinda scary amount for a park.
Yeah who benefits from this they keep using wording LOCALS , they can have this top notch security here but can't have it at gang riddle communities where hard working innocent Jamaicans and kids are losing their lives everyday but look at these HYPOCRITES enjoying our beautiful country.
@@godvsevolution8089 It is a public park not tourists.
Superb interview. The transparency is refreshing and intriguing. Irie, please do a follow up in about a year. God Bless Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙏. Thank you Irie.
Darned! Everytime I watch one her videos I learn something new about my own country. I thought I was Intuned and had my ears to the ground.
Your time, energy and dedication to this beautiful island does not go unnoticed! I appreciate your genuine love for Jamaica and her history. It is so much more than staying at an all inclusive. Thank you for shedding that light!
The production on this video is on another level. Never expected a whole interview like this.
Excellent journalism- Keep up the good work JWI
Jamaica 🇯🇲 is growing love 💘 my country I am coming back home Jamaica is good place
Go....Go.....
Thanks again Irie for the enlightening information about our beautiful country Jamaica Land We Love 💚🇯🇲 Always so informative. Great Job💯.👏
I visited Mo Bay in December 2018 and was shocked and disappointed to see the deterioration of this beachfront. UDC had developed a section of this beachfront back in the 1980s with tennis courts, etc, which had fallen into total disrepair. I am so elated to learn of this development💥 learning about my own country from a Ukrainian 👍nuff respect Irena, thank you...!
Thank you! The thing is with these developments - they can't just be done and left alone - they have to be supported and there must be a way to earn $ with them, so that maintenance expenses are covered. I wonder if the other part you're talking about is the Aquasol, which is now turned into Walter Fletcher beach.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE yes it was the Walter Fletcher beach...I used to play tennis there in the 80s when I resided in Mo Bay for a while...Thanks again for the info👍
You are doing such an amazing job! I hope Jamaica appreciates you
Waay more information than I expected. well done
Always a pleasure Irena, always a pleasure watching you.
Jamaica has come a long way and i am proud of the work that has been done from 1962 until know there was a time when there was no uptown or New Kingston and we had no Beverly Hills or Red Hills and there was no Skyrise buildings New Kingston was a Race Track called Knusford Park not to mention there was no Portmore and the seas of Newport West was right behind the bus stop at Marcus Garvey Drive . Thanks to all the youtubers who are highlighting our beautiful Island sending you lots of love Irie from Canada .
This is a excellent documentary and the park is a major upgrade for Montego Bay and Jamaica! Thank you for this video.
Great video Irina. This is wonderful for the Jamaicans especially, because too many times the nice beaches are more for us tourists. I love to see this and Jamaica is really growing fast over the last few years especially. I’ve been visiting for about 30 years and just love and miss Jamaica 🇯🇲 ♥️
Another great interview *Irine* 👏
My addiction for your weekly videos have reached *Crisis Anticipation* levels....😆
King Spotlight, made me LOL, but man, I SO AGREE WITH YOU. I drive myself crazy when I get notification of a NEW VLOG, but can't get to watch it right away...
@@trevorsteer7331 Yup same here.... 😆🤣😂
Excellent investigative journalism 👏 Irena Jamaicans are proud to have you represent them in every conceivable way, one Love ❤
I love your videos. I learn so much about JA, a place I appreciate so much. The in depth info you provide is a great bonus. When I visit again I plan to visit this newly developed park. Thanks for sharing!
I was there last week, such a pleasant experience and while I couldn't go in the water, just sitting by and hearing the waves sent my stress levels all the way down.
🇯🇲Gold medal journalism, Irene.
Very indept interview which shows our govt & tax dollars at work while enhancing quality of lives for locals & tourists alike.
Very refreshing to see such ray of sunshine in these dark & gloomy days where public-beach is seldom but a word found in the dictionary.
Thanks again Irene for your splendid reporting on Harmony Park, of which I knew nothing about. ❤ ❤
They can spend all this money here on top notch security and beautiful landscaping but yet still can't do that for real hard working innocent Jamaicans getting killed everyday by gangs oh she looks so comfy doing her little documentary well protected would love her to go spend some time in WEST KINGSTON AND OTHER AREAS TERRORISED BY GANGS KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE. A BUNCH OF HYPOCEITES YOUR JUDGEMENT IS NEAR
@@godvsevolution8089 🇯🇲 That's obviously not her niche. Why don't you take your self-righteous, narrow-minded, semi-illiterate self to the garrisons and wave your magic wand.
While you're at it, be cognizant that your salvation lies with you; not a man falling from the sky.
@@BORNFREE876 Ok you come off as illiterate as heck Barbados a smaller country literacy rate is much better than Jamaica 10 Million US for a sixteen acre park in Jamaica you not that smart frighten idiot, Yeah tell that to another persons who don't know what's going yes i see arrogance and ignorance the omnipotent GOD will soon deal with haters like you ,realize you are "frighten" yet you present yourself as so smart they made sure they build this park to the well protected tourist industry owned by the bigger heads where more tourist visit just to protect that paper for greed and sell out their own Jamicans because of greed ,they drain the resources of the country and enslave the locals, destroy the communities put the country in more debt that can never be payed off devalue Jamaica, they felt guilty as one of the persons said well overdue you need her to interview you on how you feel about your own place where are the CCTV CAMERAS AND the well organized SECURITY for the other communities with hard working jamaicans living in fear every second of their lives children getting killed by our own people drugs and guns rampant in the other communities we borrow milllions of US DOLLARS FROM IMF but where is the money no REAL MODERN PRODUCTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT FOR THE SOCALLED LOCALS SO THE COUNTRY COULD PRODUCE FOR ITSELF MORE TRADE SCHOOLS NEEDEED MORE HOSPITALS MORE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE SECURITY FOR A SAFE Environment
@@godvsevolution8089 Ok...!!
Hey Irena good afternoon to you and hope things are improving in Jamaica, well I must say your video is very informative and a eye opener for me, I am a born Jamaican and I only travel from Montego Bay 2 times so I am not too familiar with that area, I didn't know about Harmony Park, it is a beautiful scenery with the landscape, Irena since I started watching your videos about Jamaica a lot that I knew about the island is when I tune to your vlog on CZcams, the Jamaica tourist board dont have a clue how to sell Jamaica to the world, hats off to you Irena for show casing Jamaica to a lot of us, you are a gem and I am glad that you are a resident of Jamaica and it's great to have someone like you to showcase this place. Stay bless and keep safe.
Thank you, I'm glad you find the information useful and videos helpful! :) I don't agree with the point about Jamaica Tourist Board though - they also do a great job, that's why tourism is the leading industry in Jamaica. They just don't know how to work with youtube, that's all :)
JAMAICA TOURIST BOARD! SERIOUSLY GIVE THIS LADY A JOB!
Big respect to this lady wonderful bless up 🇯🇲🇺🇦
Irene I will say it one again that you are a true Jamaican ambassador that represents well and should be on the payroll.
Thank you for appreciating my work! Payrolls prevent independent journalism, so, nah. I better rely on fans and youtube ads for now, so - thank you so much for supporting! :)
Excellent editing, Irina! Also, what a fantastic enhancement for MoBay! ❤️ 🇯🇲
Another great video. Other goverments should take a look at how the Jamaican gov't funds their infrastructure. Amazing they were able to get this completed, and so beautifully, during Covid
Thank you! 👍 I'm not sure about other governments, but when it comes to infrastructure development and funding - Ukrainian Government should definitely learn from Jamaicans.
Irena i have been watching you now for over a year,and i think you are doing a fantastic job with pointing out what Jamaica has to offer in tourism..IRINA YUH BIG NOW ENUH< getting an interview with the GOVT..keep up the great content and bless
Although I think her presentation is clinical in scopes but I think it is best for her to keep out of the politics of this country because Jamaicans politics are based on tribalism and she being a white woman from an European country most Jamaicans will not see her as one of us
@@colinsmith2488 says you
@@colinsmith2488 Our motto is out and many one people. So shut the hell up.
@@colinsmith2488 So to interview the government built UDC park is getting into tribal politics? That is because you have a political diatribe and obviously partipate in tribal policis. A pure intentioned view...most persons are not thinking on which government but the well deserved end product. The end product is of interest to most while you are focussing on tribal politics. Gwah!
@@colinsmith2488 enough with your nonsense, we aren't tribal and stop with the race baiting. Jamaicans are of all sorts and she is not claiming to be Jamaican, she has said that many times in her videos. See what she is doing for the good of it, good exposure and informing Jamaicans and the diaspora about developments in our country.
Nothing is wrong with her getting information from a government source, it's the best place for her to go and it has nothing to do with politics. I bet before this you didn't know who funded the project and how tourism tax is spent...
Am gland to hear this because Jamaica belong to Jamaicans and they deserve a return from n use of their country.
Nope, Jamaica belongs to the Crown. Self governance belongs to the Jamaican people. The Jamaican flag is a spinoff of the Scottish Cross with only the colors representing local culture. Ijs.
@@chrisper94 Jamaica belongs to African ppl
Big up yourself Irena Girl, you have done a great job again, showing Jamaica. Love you and thanks from a fellow Jamaican.
I use to always go a "dump up" 😄 glad fe see this project completed now. Can't wait to go deh soon
You are hands down the best journalist in Jamaica, So much research and so fluently presented. Please continue and please do get in depth on lots of other subjects....lord knows our so called journalists are mostly sleeping
This is the beauty of independent journalism.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like my work! However, I think there are a lot of amazing journalists in Jamaica. I met one of them, Kiki, just recently. They are not sleeping, but they are often limited by all sorts of rules and regulations and cannot be free to create content the way they want. Whoever pays - controls journalism. In my case - CZcams advertisement and policy is the control of what I create, but it's not too bad. It prevents me from doing certain things - e.g. I cannot feature a child in the video at close-up without a special permission (notice how in this video all children were filmed at a distance) or the video can get flagged if I chose "inappropriate" topics, but at least it doesn't push me into writing things I don't want to write.
@@waitaminute2015 yes, thank you! exactly!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE Might well be a very polite thing to say that there are "amazing" journalists in Jamaica. That adjective should however be reserved for those whose work one could readily point out as such....sorry, non comes to mind. I could easily list for you 25 pressing topics that are screaming out for either clarification or investigation, yet nothing. If you are a journalist and cannot do proper journalism for whatever reason then are you really a journalist? Forget "Amazing Journalist" let's first get them doing Journalism God knows we need it.
she brilliant isnt she
love her videos
I’m so happy to learn the park was built by local contractors…
Top notch quality Irena.
I often wonder what the Departure tax was for, until I forget about it. Excellent information. Good to see that some of the funds benefits Jamaican people in some way.
my visit here led to a major sunburn 🤣 but i really loved this park! a win for mobay. great video! 💜
Impressive ..we need one in Nergil
Sometimes I really wonder if I am Jamaican; because some of the things you show and talk about I have no idea. Very informative again iris
😂
You know foreigners know much more about Jamaica than the vast majority of Jamaicans home and abroad?
Unless you tour jamaica on your own, as well as travel to other countries, you will never know the gem we have on that little rock in the Caribbean sea.
So glad you're getting more access to do more deep dives. Keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks irie for the information... Never knew that's there's a beautiful park like that in mobay....keep up the good work ... Nuff Respect
Love this. I hope to visit when next in JA. Hellshire beach need some tlc too. Glad to see beaches waterfronts public spaces freely accessible to locals
Looks great, will be even better when the vendors open up.
That would be even better so that it can help generate some revenue for locals. This pandemic has been rough on all.
@@nursetmarie Jamaica needs more trade schools more affordable Community Colleges A MORE MODERNIZED PRODUCTIVE INRASTRUCTURE , BETTER HEALTHCARE IMPROVED SECURITY REFORMATION it's more than 40 years since a hospital has been built the hospitals need a complete overhaul healthcare is in the gutters, 10 MILLION US FOR A 16 ACRE PARK, question where does the revenue from the tourist industry go ?
This is absolutely breathtaking and I am confident that it's the beginning ❤. Thank you for the exposé..🇺🇸
This is a very good and excellent video. Finally, get to see something positive coming out of our country.
Continue doing a good job.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. Nuff ❤ from a Jamaican to a Ukrainian.
Thank you for this - this was very informative....exciting and well worth the 30 mins of my day.
Have her go to SALT SPRING AND WEST KINGSTON AND HAVE THEM SET UP SOME AWESOME TOP NOTCH SECURITY IN THOSE AREAS AND BEAUTIFUL HOUSING AND PARKS FOR THE REAL BLACK NATIVES LOCALS HARD WORKING INNOCENT JAMAICANS .
Absolutely brilliant coverage, Irie! The TEF and UDC are doing a great job and have a good vision for JA!
I totally agree! 👍
Well managed tourism development very good
This video is packed with a wealth of Information. I feel so aware now
Funny how it takes a "stranger" to appreciate, understand and promote Island life. Wow, every video is an education.. to the locals, myself included 😁
There are Jamaican CZcamsrs doing similar things tho. Disappointed by your ignorant comment.
To me as well been in Barbados I love Jamaica and it people ♥️💯💥
I guess she's not a stranger anymore
I was disappointed by this woman's negativity toward her own people, as well as her ignorance. Especially since there are several Jamaicans on CZcams showing Jamaica in a positive light. My favorite is Shannon Zen Zen. She has done so much for Jamaica. Even though she doesn't have the money this woman does. Support your fellow Jamaicans.
Blessings always!!!!
@@laurengayle6543 yes.....but just look at this comment section. We never 'praise' our own like this even when they put in the work. The inferiority complex woth Jamaicans is real.
This project is worth the money! Thanks for the journalism, the finance, architecture, builders, and everyone who was involved in building this wonderful park! May this be properly maintained and everyone who use it keep it clean and free from danger. One day , by God's grace, I will visit there
Well I'm not a montegonion but I absolutely love it!!. Loved the way you structured the Vlog, and shed some light on just how some of these capital projects are funded.
And of course the biggest part of it is that it's a FREE public park, with free to use amenities. We often say that we the locals don't get to enjoy the beauty of our country that much; well, this is one example where the government actually took something that the public enjoyed and made it much much more enjoyable.
Good job Irie, I did not know the park is open as I have not been to Montego Bay in more than 4 years. I also love that you highlight the positives. God bless you, God bless Jamaica land we love.
Very interesting video with a lot of information. I love Harmony beach park, it's a great addition to Montego Bay. Jamaica has changed a lot since I first got there in 1989. Big up yourself well done.
Hey Irie, my name is Gary. I am a jamaican working/living in Grand Cayman. Sitting on the floor in my room, reviewing the drawings of an upcoming project, so as I watched a few stuff on CZcams I can across your channel for the first time. In short, I am blown away by your expo of the harmony park. Wow.
Thank you and welcome to the channel! I hope you find other content interesting too! :)
Beautiful park, it’s a good look for Jamaica 🇯🇲.
The park is really beautiful i have been there already❤❤❤❤❤
Nice to see the improvements. Let’s hope they keep up the upkeep.
Thanks IRIE, for showing this wonderful video footage of this beautiful new park. Well done! Bless you.....
I appreciate this video, it is very informative and educational . The park is a good look for Montego Bay and Jamaica in general.
Awesome coverage as usual Irina! ❤️
aww, thank you so much! ❤️I'm finishing the script for the next video and can get some time off to finally watch your UBER video that's sitting in my "must watch" folder!!! I see it's going viral! 🔥🔥🔥❤️
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE We love and support Jamaican Patriots.
I wasn't expecting this. You're really good at making videos.👏👏
Urban development hope that get to ST Thomas Jamaica 🇯🇲 soon , love ❤️ this video
Wow...was in MoBay Jan 2019...noticed something happing there on that beach. It really improves to the walk along the Hip Strip. Will be back this fall. That place will be hopping once food and drink places open. It will give Doctor's Cave some real competition. Great job...
The park is a really great addition to Montego Bay, definitely worth it. This docu piece is really well done. Very comprehensive and love the fact that you got interviews. Great job, keep it up 👌🏽
Harmony park is a must see for my next Jamaica vacation, thanks again irena🌹
3 mins from me, so i can go run in the mornings when i am there. I hope and pray that the Govt has ways to ensure that no guns get into the park. they say its free, but for how long...well drivers pay.
Glad to see Jamaica are now enjoying the park space and the beautiful beach.
Thank you Irina, my girlfriend and I love your channel. Keep up the amazing work. Hope to meet you when I come back home. Stay safe out there.
Irie I enjoy watching your program.
You doing a fantastic job.
Most Jamaican who do these types of programs sometimes being bias because of political reasons Instead of looking at the brighter picture and what the government doing for the country.
I interduse a lot of people in England to your programs because theirs is so much people would like to go there but scared because of who the media portrayed Jamaica .
It's really fabulous what you're doing keep up the good work and keep on being honest with your programs bless.
IRE, thank for making Jamaica your home. We jamaican do appreciate you
This government is developing our beautiful island with the tax payers money never in history we never see this people let’s be honest .only thing is to find a solution for the ongoing crime in the country likewise beautiful tourist site like Holland bamboo very bad road which needs to be repaired.
@@claudettewilson8610 crime will never disappear, even in wealthy countries there is still crime.
@@bread90210 Jamaica never this bad with crime talk truth
@@claudettewilson8610 Please listen CAREFULLY when Irene does her videos. She tends to give the proper perspective WITHOUT political bias. *Irene SAID the TEF was STARTED in 2004. I checked who was P.M. & it was PJ PATTERSON. So the PNP established this economic principle so Tourism dollars contributes to developing Jamaica in ways that directly improves citizens lives.
▪ Thankfully P.M. Andrew Holness had enough WISDOM to continue the principle. So BOTH PARTIES can take the credit for Jamaica's development.*
▪ Hopefully they can fix Helshire Beach and OTHER places not just tourist areas.
Hope that cleared things up for you. #YoureWelcome!😁 God Bless!💙
Great interview Irena, no doubt top man appreciate your work for tourism too.
This park is beautiful!
This is Great,love the way you interviewed the gentleman about the project, and he explained it brilliantly. I can't wait to visit Harmony Park. I thank you also for highlighting Jamaica in a positive way.
Knowledge is gained from interviews when the questions asked to give insight into operations and motives for actions occur. Thanks, Irina!
Yes and it was a very clever question she asked using herself as a "airbnb" owner😂. Am sure she already knew the answer but she still asked the question for the general public to understand
Well done Irina , that was a great interview. Harmony beach really looks great .
It is a beautiful place to go with your family.
Job well done again Iriena . Well researched, planned and presented.
UDC is one of the government entities that operates with professionalism and vision. I think they need to be more aggressive and expand their role by highlighting and undertaking more projects to develop areas outside of the major cities and towns.
I totally agree
THIS WAS GREAT , BUT ONE CORRECTION ALL JAMAICAN WHO VISIT JAMAICA PAY INTO THIS FUN , SO BOTH TOURISTS AND JAMAICAN WHO VISIT THEIR HOMELAND , KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU'RE DOING WE LOVE YOU
Thank you! You're absolutely right, of course! I should have mentioned TEF fees as "visitor's tax" rather than "tourist's tax". Good point! 👍👍👍
Excellent vlog as usual, with great interviews and background information. I always admire how well researched your contents are. Thanks for another excellent piece of work.
Fabulous Interview. Well done. True Journalism. I am impressed.
Nice interview find out what they are doing in Kingston at the water front too
Where exactly does it go? Interesting...
Irena with the good information again 👍
That last scene of a fan appreciation of your work is wonderful *Irie* 👏..
A *Kingston* video about its history would be epic 😎
Excellent idea!
That would have to be in 2 parts. Kingston has a lot of history.
I'd love to make a Kingston documentary, but not ready for it yet - I need new equipment for that (it's coming up soon!) and I need to get permission from all sorts of agencies first to be able to get some good quality footage. E.g. can't film historical places, like Devon House, or even get interviews with some officials because all of these things require special permission. Working on it though.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE Ok sounds good, I'll be watching as usual👌
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE I'll send you several links on Kingston plus i haven't forgotten to send the Josef Orbenski links on rural Jamaica.
What a great project !I live in a heavily touristy area of the UK where the G7 summit was hosted ,it's great to see this sort of investment that benefits locals our government should learn from the Jamaicans !
Irina you look like tourist reporter with the shades above your head, 😉but you did get your questions answered. I would say Jamaica needs more competition in development so that projects just like Harmony Park can be done all over the island in a efficient way to help locals profit also. I see you eyeing Kingston maybe another AIR B&B in the making.
Now I am even more excited to see your content every week. This one was brilliantly done with amazing footage, and I happy you got the local Montegoians, and the government perspective. I wished more Jamaican content producers on CZcams would show more positive sides of Jamaica and not always the negative. As we say in Jamaica Big yuhself. I am hoping to meet you in the future. We need more like you. Thanks and One Love!
Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed the documentary!
Another great one, Irina. LOL you should teach other CZcamsrs how to do it. I have seen so many videos on this new park; this one is the best so far!
Thank you, but I think the variety of videos is what makes CZcams such a great platform and many other CZcamsrs are doing a great job as well. Some were posting info about the Park in a timely manner, as soon as it came out, while it took me over a month to finally put together this documentary 😅
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE , I LOVE how you Credit / Compliment others

Much Respect Queen. You make me feel great about my home. Thank You.
Thanks for this awesome video 🇯🇲thanks for highlighting the positive of our beautiful Jamaica 🇯🇲 love you
I am always impressed with your work. You did your research. Saw you sometime ago out at Whitter Village. Proud to have you as part of the Jamaican family.
Continue the great work Irina! 👏🏽👍🏽👌🏽🍾🥳
sweet JAMAICA is now on the move. love it
We need to develop at least two other public parks in Jamaica 🇯🇲 like this including Brooks Park in Mandeville. The government needs to reclaim the majestic Hope Gerdens and invest the same amount of money on a comprehensive upgrade of the facility and Zoo. The government is to be commended for executing this project 🙄.
It’s a good look for my beautiful Jamaica 🇯🇲
Love that she was also looking out for herself. She is definitely a jamaican.🇯🇲😂
