WESTERN BUREAU:

CLAIMING THAT many musicians and artistes are already giving to the development of their respective communities, philanthropist and entertainer Rita Marley is challenging the Government to create a special post to assist with the development of entertainment philanthropy in Jamaica.

Mrs. Marley, who was speaking Friday on the final day of the second annual Conference on Caribbean Philanthropy in Montego Bay, St. James, suggested that the Government, through an established organising body, could offer training and other forms of support to entertainers who give to the poor."
