From Ziggy: "My friends I want to announce the launch of the wild and free singles. It's hard not to make music and since I happen to be in the studio I thought why not make some songs in between albums.

So I decided to record a collection of singles which means one song at a time and call it the wild and free singles because they are just that, wild and free.

I'll put them out as they come you can't control these things you know. Please feel free to send your family and friends to the sites to get the songs as they come out or share them out yourself.

It's going to be a lot of fun doing these songs for you. Share and enjoy. Wild and free.

love ziggy."

On April 16, 2010, Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment (URGE), the charitable organization funded by Ziggy Marley, held its biannual health fair at the Cedella Booker Basic School, Nine Mile, Saint Ann.

A 21-member team of physicians, nurses and support staff was spearheaded by Dr. Bruno Lewin, a physician and Director of Travel Advisory Service at Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles, California. Assisted by Tuff Gong International employees, the dedicated volunteers administered free medical care to residents of Nine Mile and surrounding communities. Over the counter medication were also issued to patients.

There were representatives from the St. Ann's Health Department on location, offering services such as immunization, nutrition information, mental health and physical therapy. Home visits were also conducted to the benefit of over twenty residents. The visiting physicians and nurses were led by Nurse Patty Anderson.

Other sponsorship was provided by Nine Mile Charitable Foundation, BM Nine Miles Tour Limited, Bob Marley Foundation and the Arthur Burrowes Centre.

A registration desk for membership to the Nine Miles United Districts Citizens Association was also on location. The districts that form the Association include Nine Mile, Stepney, Sterling, Alva, Calderwood, Down Lodge, Eight Mile, Higgins Land, Prickly Pole, Grants Mountain, Murray Mountain, Bambredo and Hessen Castle.
