Let us honour folks like Marva Bernard, President of the Jamaica Netball Association, manager Karen Anderson, coaches and our beautiful Sunshine Girls who have consistently remained in the World Top Four. Some of the team members come from very humble circumstances, but respond readily to the guidance and training offered by Netball Jamaica.
They recently launched their “Gold Rush Down Under”
campaign to prepare themselves for three tournaments, ending with the Netball
World Cup in Australia in August 2015, and require $63 million for the
campaign. How heartening it was to hear
multi-million dollar pledges from Jamaica Broilers, NCB, Supreme Ventures,
Courts, WISYNCO and Scotiabank, giving them a fine start.
It is the genuine passion for our people from folks
like Marva Bernard that has changed hearts and lives. What a pleasure it is to
collaborate with folks like Marva, Vilma McDonald and Molly Rhone who have made
netball into a sport of note, and given our young sportswomen the status they
deserve.
As we watched the Sunshine Girls parade for the
Glasgow Commonwealth Games and trounce the mighty England for a Bronze Medal in
those games, we see the result of leadership, affirmation and the blossoming of
the self-confidence that propels our athletes to become performers of note.
When they mounted the stage a few days ago to be
introduced by their President, the poise and dignity of our Sunshine Ladies
showed what every Jamaican can become if they receive the education and
encouragement they deserve.
