S1E2 – WHERE ARE THEY NOW? MEET KELON Wedderburn
Belmont, Bluefields – Meet Kelon Wedderburn, a son of the soil and one of the youngsters determined to make a difference.
He is a product of Savannalamar Infant & Primary School, the Bluefields People’s Community Association (BPCA)’s Computer Project, Munro College and now, the University of Technology Jamaica.
As he grew up, Kelon was very active in the Bluefields community and volunteered in many ways throughout the years, including beautification projects like road and beach clean-ups, and tutoring other students.
Speaking about the shoulders on which he stands, Kelon says,
“I really appreciate the help that others have given me, as it has been crucial in getting me this far. Keep up the good work, you’re truly touching lives.”
The latest update is that, he has now attained four certifications in the field of Cyber Security, and has been working remotely as a Cyber Security Analyst as of April 1st, this year.
