Earl Jarrett (left), JN managing director and chairman, JN Foundation; Denise Herbol, USAID mission director; and Anthony Hylton, minister of industry, investment and commerce; enjoy a moment at the inaugural SEBI Summit, January 2015, held at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel.

A prudent man holds on to the old as long as it is good, and grabs hold of the new as soon as it is better; so goes an old adage. It’s time to let go of the old and discredited handout and hand-me-down charity approach, and take hold instead of the hand-up approach to community and nation-building practised by social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. There are two outstanding men among us who are at the forefront of grabbing hold of this new paradigm; one from the public sector and the other from the private sector.
