Akeem Brown of Mister Brown’s Graphics and More/Greenwich Town Youths in Action Club taps into the Power of Sport with a Multipurpose Court

In the heart of Greenwich Town, Supreme Community Hero 2026 finalist Akeem Brown is turning a once-abandoned space into a place of hope, opportunity, and community pride.

As a businessman, founder of Greenwich Town Youths in Action Club, and owner of Mister Brown’s Graphics and More, Akeem is on a mission to transform The Dust Bowl into a modern multipurpose court where young people can play sports, build friendships, and access positive opportunities.

Once a popular gathering place for football and community activities, the field became unusable after years of dirt and debris accumulated. Now, with a grant of $500,000 and the support of community members, rehabilitation work is underway to restore this treasured space.

Located at the intersection of Maxfield Avenue and Spanish Town Road, the Greenwich Town Multipurpose Court aims to strengthen community bonds, encourage youth development, and revive the area’s proud sporting legacy.

Through his dedication, Akeem is helping to build a brighter future for Greenwich Town, one where sports bring people together and renewed opportunities inspire change.

Veneish Wallace leaving no elderly behind in Wilmington, St. Thomas

For most Jamaicans, nursing homes and personal caregivers are not options they can access to provide care for their aging parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

In Wilmington, St. Thomas, Veneish Wallace, owner of Eliza Care, is using her passion for healthcare to make a meaningful difference in the lives of elderly and chronically ill residents.

As a finalist in the Supreme Community Heroes programme, Veneish received a $500,000 grant to bring her initiative, “Leaving No Elderly Behind,” to life. The project aims to address the lack of accessible home healthcare by equipping family caregivers and community volunteers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to care for seniors safely at home.

Through community workshops and home visits, the project provided training in eight essential areas, including medication management, personal hygiene, catheter care, wound care, diabetes and hypertension management, hospital follow-up care, and meal preparation for seniors.

Veneish’s workshop was able to reach 30 households and trained at least 40 individuals, helping families better manage their loved ones’ health needs while reducing preventable complications and unnecessary hospital visits.

Beyond the training, the initiative helped to establish a network of trained caregivers and a community healthcare support and referral system, creating a foundation for lasting support for vulnerable residents across Wilmington.

Kymara E. Elliott — Sustaining Our Environment with Green Care Eco Explorers

Kymara E. Elliott, educator, author, and founder of Green Care Training & Workshops, is inspiring the next generation to protect Jamaica’s environment through education, exploration, and hands-on learning.

As a finalist in the Supreme Community Heroes 2026, Kymara developed the Green Care Eco Explorers initiative into a structured, three-stage environmental learning experience designed to build environmental awareness and encourage responsible environmental practices among children in underserved communities.

The programme engaged 20 children from Parade Gardens, Kingston, through Eco Action Day and a field experience at Kingston Harbour. The children explored pollution pathways, mangrove ecosystems, and marine biodiversity, gaining firsthand insight into the importance of protecting Jamaica’s natural environment.

As part of the experience, the students visited the Port Royal Marine Laboratory, equipped with journals, mission cards, and question sheets to guide their learning. The visit also featured a combined boat experience and Biodiversity Centre tour, giving the young explorers further opportunities to discover and appreciate marine life.

Through these engaging experiences, Kymara is nurturing scientific curiosity, environmental responsibility, and a generation of informed environmental stewards committed to building a more sustainable future for Jamaica.
