GRANVILLE, Trelawny — World Championships and Olympic Games champion Veronica Campbell-Brown surprised students and wards of the Granville Child Development Agency when she turned up bearing gifts and encouraging words on Monday.
It was Campbell-Brown’s second visit to the institution — the previous being in her capacity as a UNESCO Ambassador for gender equity — and she told the OBSERVER ONLINE she felt it was time for a return.
“I came back because I wanted to make a contribution to the young ladies,” Campbell-Brown, who is also from Trelawny, said.
She handed over “personal and educational” items and said she spoke to them about empowerment, setting goals and going after their dreams and said she thought her words were well received.
