SOLDIERS from the United States military are in Jamaica assisting the Government with civic, humanitarian and construction/renovation projects.
The 'Beyond the Horizon' initiative began earlier this month when the Americans, working with the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) broke ground on a expansion of the Portmore Health Clinic in St Catherine. They will also install ceiling fans, repair plumbing and renovate the restroom in the old building, said a statement from the US Embassy today.
Further construction and renovation projects will also take place at the Bull Bay All Age School, Horizon Park Primary and Junior High, and the Yallahs Health Clinic.
Working in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, the Americans will hold several medical fairs throughout the island, including Morant Bay, Yallahs, Montego Bay, Lottery, and Moneague, beginning in March and extending through late May.
