The AFJ Honorees

The American Friends of Jamaica honors individuals and/or companies that have distinguished themselves by demonstrating leadership in their service to Jamaica, in particular through exemplary contributions in the areas of education, healthcare and economic development and strengthening the bonds of friendship between the US and Jamaica. The AFJ awards the International Humanitarian Award and the AFJ International Achievement Award.

In 2007, the AFJ adopted the etching of Jamaica’s national bird, the Hummingbird or Doctor Bird as the symbol of leadership, service and philanthropy dedicated to Jamaica.
