High notes of hope were sounded by the Alpha Boys’ School Band last Monday in the same week that Alpha celebrated its 141st anniversary. They heralded the opening of the new Colm Delves Centre named for the late CEO of the Digicel Group and sponsored by the Digicel Jamaica Foundation.
The Digicel headquarters in downtown Kingston was also renamed in honour of Colm Delves on Monday afternoon. As staff and friends spoke of their special relationship with this man and, as Chairman Denis O’Brien described his leadership in the global expansion of the company, it was clear that Colm Delves’ name would call us to a level of excellence and compassion which we can only hope to attain.
O’Brien also visited Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton to whom he presented US$1 million for the National Health Fund, led by Howard Mitchell, for the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines for Jamaica as part of a continuation of the Digicel Foundation’s support in our fight against COVID-19.
