The British High Commission in Kingston on Thursday, under the patronage of British High Commissioner Judith Slater, hosted the new cohort of 14 Chevening Scholars at the Windrush Gardens on the grounds of the Trafalgar Road property. It was a fun affair as recipients and their guests got to know each other and attentive well-wishers ahead of this exciting scholastic adventure. Something Extra has the highlights.
