Prime Minister @andrewholnessjm in Kingston, Jamaica at the National Commerce Bank’s National Tribute to Partnerships & Recovery.  Prime Minister thanked our work for #hurricaneberyl. Ministers, distinguished leaders and dedicated partners all came together to show the world what true collaboration looks like in times of crisis.GEM prides itself on good public/private partnerships. Following the PM’s words are GEM founder, @michaelcapponi’s speech on what GEM has done in the last year in Jamaica. Just 48 hours after Beryl devastated Jamaica, our first cargo plane touched down. Within days, clean water was restored to Treasure Beach through the deployment of a large generator. Days later, roof repairs started. Fast forward one year and our incredible GEM Caribbean branch led by @deikamorrison was able to repair 738 roofs. We could not have done this without the best comunity partner @jasonhenzell, @bredstreasurebeach and @iom.jamaica. GEM funds were matched by @ncbfoundation and without their support this program would not have happened. Thank you @lyn.thalia and everyone who made this possible. Also pleased to announce that the PM’s office has granted GEM a major warehouse in Kingston where our GEM Carribean branch will preposition emergency supplies in case any other potential storms may hit this region.  #jamaica🇯🇲 #hurricaneberyl @goldeneye #bstrong @mairoliver @marlonhill @sflcaribbeanstrong #Tankwell #hurricaneberyl #jamaica
