The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany sponsors branch office

LIKE THE PHEONIX…
The St. Mary Branch Office of the Diabetes Association of Jamaica after years of nomadic existence and many periods of closure has finally found a home.
The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany gave the branch approximately J$1.3 million to put a containerized office on land leased from the St. Mary Parish Council in Trinity St. Mary. The offices of The Food for the Poor and The Lions Club of Kingston and St. Andrew also made contributions to this venture.
This move by the Association and its sponsors was applauded by the community on March 25, 2009 the day of the official opening of the office. The official opening was done by His Excellency Juergen Engel the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany at the office’s location in Trinity.
