Friends and family of ska, rocksteady, reggae and dancehall. The Alpha Boys School in Kingston JA just launched a fundraising campaign to build a radio station at the school and we hope you can help us. The studio project will directly support the creation of studio and vocational training at Alpha Boys School in Kingston, JA. Toots & The Maytals and Yellowman and the International Reggae Poster Contest have all contributed some great rewards to people who pledge. Please take a look at the Kickstarter campaign here > kck.st/1fihNfD
