The Jamaica/St Lucia Community celebrates the Olympic successes of the Caribbean

Members of the The Jamaica/St Lucia Community could not celebrate enough the victories of their Caribbean comrades at this year’s Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Members, affectionately referred to as “Friends in Helen”, gathered over a period of a week to celebrate the successes of Caribbean athletes. They met at Friends Cafe, in Vigie, over the 4 x 400 metre Men and Women finals on the final day of the games and were jubilant when Jamaican female athletes were rewarded with a bronze medal for their efforts and once again at Pulse, the popular night club in Rodney Bay on Saturday, August 30, to revel in the achievements of the Caribbean athletes. Guests on both occasions were exhorted to “wear their colours” and many came resplendent in red, black and white (the colours of the flag of Trinidad & Tobago) and green black and gold (the colours of the Jamaican flag).
