Thanks for visiting our website. If you are visiting for the first time we welcome you with open arms. If you’re an old friend, thanks for your loyalty. And if you’ve read this far, we hope we’ve captured you!
You know, the editors of this website, which we affectionately call CEEJAY (for Chinese Jamaican) have kept it alive for 8 years and are still working very hard to keep it going. Your monetary contributions alone won’t make our website stay afloat…we need materials from you, our readers, to make it a viable medium.
We are asking you to please scan and submit some of your old photos of people and places for our MEMORIES Section, news from your corner of the world to share with the rest of us, personal stories that you think might be of interest to your fellow Hakkas who are part of a wide Diaspora.
You don’t have to be an experienced or Pulitzer Prize writer to submit your article – just treat CEEJAY as your family notice board and a place to “meet” people with similar interests as yours.
We will publish Obituaries and announcements of upcoming social events free of cost as long the materials are non-political in nature. Your articles can be written in any style, even in Patois, but not inflammatory. We like to keep our –YOUR - website a common ground where you can view your own material and read other readers’ viewpoints. Indeed, many readers have obtained great recipes from this site and we do welcome new ones for our cooking section. We also welcome any suggestions for improvements.
So, how about it? How about helping us to keep CEEJAY going throughout 2008 and beyond?
Its future depends on you.
Thanks for your time.
