Mission Statement
The mission of Opio’s work is to highlight, celebrate and continue the legacy of his ancestors. Opio believes that the beginning is a continuation of the end. This means that the high standard and values of our ancestors should be instilled into our children so they can continue the good work.
About Website
August 6, 2012 will be fifty years of Jamaica’s independence. Reaching this landmark will be a great achievement. More importantly, it will be the start of the next fifty years. Jamaica50 is a celebration of Jamaican and African heritage through the arts. It is also a medium where Jamaicans, Jamaican descendants and friends of Jamaica can make contributions in giving their views on issues concerning our heritage.
Jamaica50.com is the idea of Opio Yaw Asante and he is the first artist featured, but the aim is that other artists will see this website as a medium where they would like to showcase and sell their work.
Ourstory gives a brief summary of Jamaica’s history up to independence.
Jamaica50 Talk is where our thinkers can go at length in solving the problems of the world. You do not have to be an expert, although we will welcome and appreciate input from experts. You can also post short messages and respond to issues of interest.
