Reggae superstar Buju Banton made a surprise visit to the Mount Pleasant Football Academy (MPFA) in St Ann on Monday.
Buju, who is scheduled to leave the island shortly for an African tour, interacted with several students at the Academy, encouraging them to make use of all opportunities given to them.
The academy’s Amanda Gould, hailed the visit by the reggae icon, noting that the Buju Banton Foundation and the Academy have a shared vision of helping youths to excel.
“He leaves for his Africa tour tomorrow (Tuesday) and for him to take time from his busy schedule, to visit us and to meet the boys, we are so grateful,” Gould stated.
She added that the Buju Banton Foundation is also geared at helping at risk youths.
“Music meets football. It’s all about encouraging passion for doing what you do best be it sport or music. Excellence is our shared way of life,” Gould said.
