In collaboration with Yamaya Guani Taino Peoples, Source Farm successfully launched its first children’s educational event at the Ancestral Gardens Woodside, Highgate, St. Mary. The event “Read and Reasoning” was held on May 26, 2023. Students from the Carron Hall Primary School participated in a free Book fair with the featured Award Winning Author, A-Dziko Simba Gegele
This program was initially inspired by a US group who offer similar programs for children. The students, teachers, and Principal spent the morning listening to the author as she read excerpts from her novel “All Over Again.” They also participated in creative activities, and ended with a warm breakfast!
“Read and Reasoning” opened the Taino New Year’s Celebration, hosted by Yamaya Guani Taino Organization, which was celebrated in the afternoon. The students expressed being intrigued to be in the presence of an award winning author. They asked questions, and immersed themselves in the activities. Students received a personally-signed copy of “All Over Again” along with two other books of their choice.
Source Farm plans to launch one more event during the summer months in John’s Town, St. Thomas. We hope to see you there!
