Yesterday’s treat saw more than 1,000 children basking in the rides and goodies.

700 CHILDREN

The first 700 children were treated to school bags stuffed with supplies to include pencils, rulers, books, and sharpeners.

Describing the event as a ‘heart endeavour’, Popcaan noted that he is no stranger to struggle.

“Mi did find it hard when me use to go school cause me grow up somewhere where mi neva have access to too much things and is the same thing with dem youth here right now,” he said, revealing that this was something he wanted to do for years.

“Now me get the blessing where mi can do it and it’s from my heart,” he said. “I just do it because I think I have the power to. Mi have the blessing and mi just want to share it with some people.”
