*The Crisis Unfolds*


For forty years, residents of Southern St. James have endured inadequate access to basic amenities, particularly clean water. Despite repeated promises, the local MP has failed to deliver, leaving the community frustrated and disillusioned.


*The Human Cost*


The lack of investment in infrastructure has resulted in water shortages, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare and education. Residents are forced to rely on makeshift solutions, further exacerbating the issue.


*A Community's Voice*


"This crisis is a canvas of contradictions – promises unkept, hopes deferred, and lives impacted."


*Key Concerns:*


- Lack of access to clean water

- Poor sanitation and healthcare

- Limited educational opportunities

- Infrastructure neglect


*The Time for Change is Now*


The people of Southern St. James deserve dignity, respect, and investment in their future. Let's amplify their voices and demand action.


*Join the Movement*


Together, we can bring about change and ensure that Southern St. James receives the attention and resources it deserves. FABIAN STENNETT  CHIEF  OF FURRY  TOWN MAROONS

THE PUM PUM PAPER By Fabian Stennett

The Untouchable Power of the Pum Pum: How It Built Empires, Broke Kingdoms, and Bankrolled Hustles. By:  Fabian Stennett — “Pum Pum Prophet”? 😏] Let’s be honest: if you think world history was built on strategy, guns, and politics alone, you’ve been reading the censored version. Behind the crown, behind the throne, behind every great man who mysteriously started making wild decisions... there’s one undeniable truth: The pum pum has always been the real power behind the power. Remember Helen of Troy? Yeah — they said she had “the face that launched a thousand ships,” but we know what really launched them. Kings risked it all, wars were fought, nations collapsed.

A Call To Action By Fabian Stennett

  --- Southern St. James in Crisis: A Call to Action Decades of Neglect, A Community's Plea for Change By Fabian Stennett Artist & Cultural Anthropologist | Chief of Furry Town Maroons --- Introduction: The Crisis That Won’t Go Away In the southern belt of Jamaica’s St. James parish, beneath the shadows of lush mountains and rich cultural history, lies a truth that the nation has too long ignored: a community crying out for survival. For over four decades, Southern St. James has been mired in neglect—without consistent access to clean water, facing crumbling infrastructure, and burdened by failed political promises. It’s a quiet crisis, overlooked by the headlines, yet resounding in every household, every empty pipe, and every sick child. This is more than a story—it is a call to action. --- The Weight of Neglect: A Generational Burden Walk through the districts of Cambridge, Maroon Town, Bickersteth, and Welcome Hall, and you’ll hear the same refrain: “Wi cyaah get nuh watah.”...
