Singjay Mavado and international superstar Drake are in the midst of building a learning center in Cassava Piece.
Drake donated US$25,000 (JA$2.15 million) towards the building of the library.
Jullian Mavados' manager said: "Basically Mavado and Drake shot some scenes in Cassava Piece and struck up an immediate rapport with the people there. He thought they showed him a lot of love and he was very down to earth with them and wanted to do something positive."
The idea for the learning center which includes a computer lab and a library, according to Jones-Griffith, was one Mavado had plans for so Drake decided to assist the project.
Drake said "I had a great time when I was in Jamaica and the people of Cassava Piece showed me a lot of love. I just wanted to show back some love by helping out with Mavado's project on the Gullyside. It's a very positive move and something I am very happy to be a part of.Education is the key to life so to be able to assist in that process is very fulfilling.
Two weeks ago Drake gave Mavado his contribution and since then construction has started in Cassava Piece.
