On Saturday, April 23, businessman and philanthropist Lascelles Chin received the American Friends of Jamaica (AFJ) Peacock Award for International Achievement.

The ceremony was held at the Marriott Hotel in Miami, Florida, during the AFJ's annual charity gala. Each year, the organisation honours individuals who have distinguished themselves by demonstrating leadership in their service to Jamaica, particularly through exemplary contributions in the fields of economic development, philanthropy and strengthening the bonds of friendship between the United States and Jamaica.

The AFJ deems Lascelles Chin as a gracious and supportive honouree. The inaugural Lignum Vitae Vanguard Award was presented to Marlon Hill, and Robert Runcie, superintendent of Broward schools. Both Lignum Vitae recipients are sons of Jamaica.
