‘Leggo Di Gang… Lift Up Jamaica’ is the theme for the Ministry of Education and Youth’s Anti-Gang Week 2022 from November 13 to 19.

Acting Director of the Safety and Security Unit in the ministry, Richard Troupe, told JIS News that the week is “significant and timely”, given recent incidents of violence in schools.

“We, at the ministry, know that a week is not enough. However, we think it is a start to mobilise critical stakeholder groups to partner with our schools to support the ‘End Violence in Schools’ campaign,” said Troupe.

The campaign, dubbed ‘Just Medz It’, was launched recently at Wolmer’s Boys’ School in Kingston.

Activities for Anti-gang Week will begin with a service at Phillippo Baptist Church, 9 William Street, Spanish Town, starting at 10am.

On Tuesday (November 15), deans of discipline attached to schools will participate in anti-gang workshops.

Troupe said these are capacity-building sessions, which will equip the participants with the tools to better treat with the problem.

An anti-gang town hall is scheduled for Wednesday (November 16) at the Office of the Commissioner of Police. These will be followed by a series of motivational talks in more than 100 high schools, which will be facilitated by school resource officers and church leaders.

For Friday (November 18), Troupe is encouraging schools to host special devotions in partnership with the churches in their locale.

The week’s activities will culminate with a service on Saturday (November 19) at Mandeville Seventh-day Adventist Church, 13a Caledonia Road, starting at 11 .m.

The observance of Anti-gang Week involves collaboration with the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s (JCF) Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime (C-TOC) Investigations Branch, and the Community Safety and Security Branch.

If ‘out of necessity’ were a business, it would be Fabian Reeves’ Fabulous AF – Affordable Furnishings in Barbados.

Already being approached about taking his skills to Canada, Fabian is a carpenter by trade now, but he does nothing the regular way. Just taking a look around his storehouse, one would see that his skills are being put to use in a traditional way but to bring about a modern, unique finished product.

This Good News Day, we are highlighting this Caribbean Creator, Barbadian Fabian Reeves.

When Loop stumbled upon a brightly coloured box with amazing detail work and graphics, it was hard to believe that the item was indeed a casket. It was a final resting place of beauty. We quickly got to searching to find the artist behind the work and that’s when we got introduced to Fabian.

Fabian chatted with us in his St Michael home before taking us into his work area and telling us his story and the story of Affordable AF.

Known as a founder and teacher in Black Knight Riders, the biker has other mad skills with a saw, sander and hammer, along with the rest of his work tools.

Fabian said that this new career choice dropped into his lap during the hard financial times of COVID. He said that when he had to bury his dad unexpectedly, the exorbitant cost of a casket made him consider doing the job himself. Taught the basics by his uncle, Fabian got to work and gave his dad a memorable send off.

Then before he could as Bajans say ‘catch his hand good’, death came knocking on his door again. This time, he was tasked with making a casket for the mother of his children from his previous relationship.

Both of these caskets called for Fabian to draw on some inner strength because his emotions were at work as well as he poured into these pieces.

Since the responses to those two caskets and another he did for a friend whose baby passed away, the requests have been coming in nonstop.

What’s that saying? Two things are sure in this life – death and taxes.

Fabian has been using his skills and the graphic design skills of his coworker to help other families say farewell to their loved ones but with a smile on their faces. The caskets are done in such a way as to celebrate the life and love of those gone too soon in many cases.

Apart from the caskets though, Fabian and his Affordable AF business has been getting into homes as he designs and builds custom bed frames that scream out the owners’ personalities. From unicorns and rainbows for girls including his daughters, to race cars for boys or floating beds for adults including his wife, Fabian is thinking outside the box now.

Asked what is his ultimate dream as he continues to expand his business – with a smile, he said he would like to decorate and build everything inside a home. He would not want to necessarily build the house, but he would want to be responsible for all the furnishings inside the four walls.
