The advertisements are everywhere; luring Jamaicans to buy a ticket to their dreams. Legalised gambling is big business with huge amounts of money being won – and lost – daily. Children are not immune from the attraction of gambling, and some are betting from an early age, mostly on unregulated games in schools and communities. Some children lie, steal and fight to maintain the habit. On this Impacting Jamaica episode with host Luke Douglas, Mr. Richard Henry of RISE Life Management Services speaks about efforts of a programme, “to nip in the bud” the problem of underage gambling.The programme, sponsored by the Betting Gaming and Lotteries Commission, targets everyone – children, parents, community members and providers of gambling services.

Christine Gore is making a difference in the lives of thousands of Jamaica's youngest and most vulnerable.She walked away from her highly successful law practice in 2004 to focus on giving back to her country. Mrs. Gore and her husband use the Phillip and Christine Gore Family Foundation as the primary vehicle to take on philanthropy full time.“I have no regrets about doing it,” declared Mrs. Gore, who added that she and her husband, a prominent housing developer, are passionate about Jamaica, its development and the welfare of its people.As a successful attorney-at-law and happily married, Christine Gore seemingly had the kind of life most Jamaicans could only dream of. However, that was not enough. Instead, she focused on supporting early childhood education, sports development, and skills training for mainly young people in inner-city communities. What drives this woman to selflessly dedicate her time and money to improving the lives of young children and at-risk youth in our society?

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic over 18 months ago and the massive loss of jobs that followed compelled many Jamaicans to turn to alternative means to survive. A number of persons, including some in the hospitality sector, pivoted to agriculture.Poultry and egg farming suddenly became a viable business for many and with assistance of HiPro Farm Supplies, small producers were able to supply almost 40 per cent of the country's poultry needs – up from just above 30 per cent before the pandemic hit.“The small farmer stepped up to the plate to feed the nation,” said Dayne Patterson, the Business Development Manager at HiPro Farm Supplies. “And they are continuing to do it.”In this episode of Impacting Jamaica, host Luke Douglas talks with Patterson who provides insights into the critical role his company plays in Jamaica's food security and the provision of employment.
