#JISInspire: Set on becoming a breast prosthesis surgeon, eighteen-year-old Derick Bernard's devotion to his career of choice has taken the form of organising charitable initiatives to support breast cancer survivors, describing his efforts as his way of giving back. Following research on the disease, he learned of the trauma survivors experience and raised over $100,000 of much needed support over them. The sixth form student at Hillel Academy in St. Andrew is now an ambassador for breast cancer survivors and wants other young men to join the cause to support and raise funds for women who are fighting the disease. To continue to join Bernard on his inspirational journey, visit https://lnkd.in/ebnZkVxG in honour of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth.

Director of Human Resources at the Jamaica Information Service (JIS), Dr. David Knight, is urging local, non-profit organisations to evolve to meet current needs and find new areas where they can be of service. He gave the charge while addressing the Junior Chamber International - Jamaica (JCI) 2024 National Convention in early October, at the Insurance College of Jamaica in Kingston. Non-profit organisations are legal entities organised and operated for a collective, public or social benefit, as opposed to profit making, and include charitable, religious, and political organisations, and private foundations. He noted that while these organisations work primarily in the areas of education, health, and social services, there are other areas where they can make an impact, such as climate change. He urged these bodies to engage with the Government and other critical stakeholders, such as the Council of Voluntary Social Services (CVSS), to address social issues and remain relevant.
