One Jamaica

Before God and all mankind, I pledge the love and loyalty of my heart, the wisdom and courage of my mind, the strength and vigour of my body in the service of my fellow citizens; I promise to stand up for Justice, Brotherhood and Peace, to work diligently and creatively, to think generously and honestly, so that Jamaica may, under God, increase in beauty, fellowship and prosperity, and play her part in advancing the welfare of the whole human race.

About Me

A.O.C.
I started this blog to comment on the happenings in my beautiful country of Jamaica and provide suggestions. It was launched just before the elections in 2007 because I felt that it was vital that my generation really begin to participate in the political process. I use an alias because I really do feel that I am an agent of change for good and want to communicate that.
