His Excellency Sir Patrick Allen noted that Miss Singh was fit to represent the service oriented initiative owning to the nature of her voluntary project at the Women’s Centre Foundation in St. Thomas.

The IBI’s mandate “using what is right with Jamaica to fix what is wrong with Jamaica” is actioned through Miss Singh’s passion and commitment to provide young mothers with the support, resources and direction to not only navigate motherhood, but to do so whilst continuing the pursuit of their education.
