Congrats, Mr Paul ‘Samfo’ Lyn

THE EDITOR, Madam:

I write to extend heartfelt congratulations to prominent Manchester businessman and long-standing justice of the peace Paul ‘Samfo’ Lyn on his being awarded the prestigious Governor-General’s Award recently.

As a resident of Christiana, where Mr Lyn operates some of his businesses, I can attest to his philanthropic spirit and corporate social responsibility. Every year he assists many students with educational supplies and financial contributions through his pharmacy and meat shop, JWIN Pharmacy and Samfo Meats. He can always be counted on to support community events in tangible ways, and he is always accessible as a justice of the peace and community leader.

If we had more persons like Mr Lyn who are willing to give back some of the profits of their businesses, Jamaica would be a kinder and gentler place to live, raise families, do business, and praise God.

Keep up the great work, Mr Lyn. Your contribution to the parish of Manchester has not gone unnoticed or unrecognised. I am proud of you, and I know the people of Manchester are equally appreciative and proud of you.

Andre’ A.O. Wellington
