Trading violence for technology

MERVIN Jarman never thought he'd live to see his 28th birthday, and this robust-looking man had good reasons for feeling this way.
Growing up in Palmer's Cross, Clarendon - surrounded as he was by violently criminal lifestyles - Jarman never felt he would be able to achieve anything besides the criminal legacy many youths his age back then, readily opted to adopt.
Today, at age 45, Jarman is singing a different tune. After having a few run-ins with the law, growing up in both Jamaica and England, he said he decided to turn his life around. Today, he has evolved into a man committed not only to the transformation of himself, but of the troubled youths living in the increasingly volatile Palmer's Cross community. The evidence of his efforts so far, speaks volumes.
Jarman is the man whose brainchild has blossomed into the award-winning Container Project, a not-for-profit community multimedia centre serving the Palmer's Cross community ...........................................
