Fierce hardship brought about by a cruel hand of fate might have dealt a severe blow to the earnings of many Jamaicans, but it has not been able to bruise their caring nature.
There are signs that thousands of Jamaicans are still willing to be their brothers' keeper in fierce defiance of the tough times, brought about by an unkind economic climate.
Evidence of this is reflected in the accounts of the philanthropic organisation, United Way of Jamaica, which raked in $55.8 million despite the global recession.
The generosity of Jamaicans has given the organisation the impetus to broaden its base.
