Message from Friends of Porus Association Inc. President, Carson Robinson

As we set forth on this path to fortify the Porus community, my role as President of the Friends of Porus Association is to continue the rich tradition of community engagement with the Diaspora and the Community of Porus, Manchester Jamaica. It is crucial that we unite in our efforts to support the community of Porus, which has bestowed so much upon us. This journey is not just about strengthening a community; it’s about upholding a legacy of care and commitment.

The history and connections we share with Porus are profound. It’s a place that has given us cherished memories, lifelong friendships, and a sense of belonging. Now, it’s our turn to give back. By working together, we can channel our collective energy and resources into projects that will enhance the lives of the people in Porus.

We are embarking on a journey of empowerment, collaboration, and community-building. It’s about fostering sustainable change, creating opportunities, and leaving a legacy that future generations can be proud of. Your involvement, whether through donation, volunteerism, or partnership, is not just appreciated; it’s fundamental to the success of this endeavor.

Let us come together and carry forward the spirit of unity and progress that has always been at the heart of the Friends of Porus Association. Together, we can achieve remarkable things and ensure that Porus remains a thriving and vibrant community for all.
