The 195th commemorative 50ft mural project on Henley Road took place from July 20- 28, 2020, at a cost of $1,850,000 (€10,651.82). Our corporate partner Hardware & Lumber (H&L) Tru Value Limited provided the requisite primer, paint and sealer. The mural was designed by art students from the Edna Manley College of the Visual & the Performing Arts and follows a brief history of Camparista involvement in the communities over the years.
The mural showcases imagery of JWN’s contribution to the foundation of Jamaica’s culture and spirit of our nation. The community involvement and support in the execution of the mural was overwhelming. Members of the community (with a population of 9,735 persons) came on a daily basis to share their appreciation for the mural and our reinvestment in the community. Children and adults from the community and Camparistas were also involved in the execution by having their handprints placed on the wall.
On July 28, 2020, select community council members, representatives from the Government of Jamaica via the Member of Parliament, JWN Chairman and Senior Director of Public Affairs & Sustainability, “christened” the wall and cut a cake in celebration of its completion.
