The Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport will be providing monetary support for Jamaica’s delegation heading to the CARIFTA Swimming Championships in Barbados, April 16 to April 20.

Portfolio Minister, Olivia Babsy Grange made the announcement during the handover of laptops to students of Guy’s Hill High School by Jamaica Anti-doping Commission JADCO at the Commission’s Kingston office yesterday (Thurs).

Ms. Grange indicated that the funds to offset expenses will be disbursed directly to the suppliers.

She noted that the money will cover accommodation as well as the balance to the Barbados Association.

Ms. Grange said the CARIFTA swimming championships have provided great exposure for the country’s swimmers aiming to represent Jamaica at a higher level.
