The recently established Adidja Palmer Education Foundation Ltd. donated $30,000 to the effort to construct the Leonard Howell Guidance Counselling room at a location in Chedwin Park, St. Catherine.

The drive was spearheaded by IRIE FM and will see the construction of the room in memory of the Rastafarian prophet's life. DJ Vybz Kartel --an avid reader who knew about Howell's life as the founder of the rastafarian movement and his struggle for self-empowerment of the black race under colonial Britain --opened his pocketbook to assist the worthy cause.

"The philosophies that encourage self-empowerment and self-reliance must be encouraged and Howell who was the father of the Rasta movement, and I wholly support any cause that can enlighten or assist our youths in any way," he said in a release.
