Ramah in a jam
Panman needs assistance
by The Buzz

Trinidad & Tobago - A call is going out to all panatics, social services, the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) to assist panman Errol Ramah, also called Ramah the Jammer.

This crackshot panman, 69, has been playing the pan since the age of eight, and has the distinction of playing 48 national panoramas, first with Silver Stars, and up to a few days ago, Caribbean Airlines Invaders.

His home at 15 Vidale Street, St James, has been burnt in mysterious circumstances. Now Ramah finds himself in a jam. He lost everything, even one of his beloved dogs and seven pups.

Look, the Ramah is very unhappy these days. He also lost his double seconds given to him by ace composer Ray Holman. It’s a tough time for Ramah.

The Buzz hopes that Pan Trinbago, Caribbean Airlines Invaders, and all pan lovers at home and abroad will pour out the love on our crestfallen brother. You can help Ramah by calling his daughter Alana at 1 (868) 367-4341.

Ministers, Glen Ramadharsingh, are you listening? Let’s make Errol Ramah smile again.

It is a great thing to do for this gentleman, but when money is sent you want to make sure the money gets to him, he is not senile and can go to the Western Union himself, you know how there are so many scammers out there just waiting for the right opportunity to rip off others, that is not to say that everyone is the same, some who you think is your friend or even relative, some have already been there and know what I am talking about. The help is needed, that's for sure but make sure he gets it. Maybe an account can be set up at a bank in St. James which is his home so it is make easier and money sent to that account, that would make sure he gets it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of need. sorry about losing everything, what a sad time but smile, you are still here.

Can a trust account at one of the major banks be set up in T&T which pan-fans can donate to?

I would definitely donate if an account was set up for Errol. It's an awful thing when your house burns down and you are left with NOTHING. All your memories gone...your life as you know it gone. Hopefully his daughter Alana will set up this account and let us know where it is and the number so that we can all give a little something to help a brother...who knows we could be in the same position one day.

Jesus said - " the least that you give to another - you give to me" Let's be generous once an account is set up and WST passes on the information to us.

Is there a postal address so that we can use Western Union?

Or a friend with a PayPal account?
