The Leonard P. Howell Foundation was formed to protect, honor and perpetuate the life, legacy, and memory of Leonard Percival Howell along with other brothers and sisters whose contributions and achievements have been of enduring value to the development of the Rastafarian Movement in Jamaica and abroad. We are currently in negotiations to reclaim and restore a portion of the Pinnacle Property as a United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognized World Heritage Site. In doing so, we aim to create an international Rastafarian Worship and research center and monumental tribute to Leonard Percival Howell in recognition of his life, mission, and contributions to Jamaica and the world at large. We ask that you continue to support the Foundation and its members.
Yours respectfully,
Monty Howell, Chairman
