Kingston, Jamaica - To celebrate the International Day of Families, UPF-Jamaica partnered with the leaders of a character development center founded by the inspiration of a former Governor General of Jamaica. The 60 participants included people from various religions and NGOs.
The message of the UN Secretary-General was read by the wife of the Korean consul. Then the UPF representative spoke on the theme of the Family as the School of Love.
A leading professional keyboard player provided entertainment. He was among the people appointed as Ambassadors for Peace. After hearing the presentations and participating in the discussion, participants resolved to contribute to establishing "One Family Under God."
