Desmond McKenzie (centre) applauds as Raheem Powell holds the key to his new home at Watson Grove in Bridgeport, St. Catherine, which was handed over during a ceremony on Friday (July 24). Sharing the moment (from left) are Raheem’s mother, Ann-Marie Douglas; Mayor of Portmore, Councillor Leon Thomas; and Minister of State in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information and Member of Parliament for East Central St. Catherine, Hon. Alando Terrelonge. Minister McKenzie offered housing and educational assistance to Raheem Powell in November 2018 after his needs were highlighted in the press. Raheem, who was unable to pursue further education after grade six as he was without a birth certificate, had participated in the St. Catherine leg of the Ministry's Local Government and Community Development Month Cross-Island Run that year.
