GIVING BACK 


 
Growing up in Jamaica from a humble beginning, I knew firsthand the hardship of not having the tools needed for academic success. As a result, many children, including myself, gave up before our true potential could be realized. Fortunately, some of us were given a second chance.

That is why, starting back fifteen years ago, I made the commitment, without commotion or fanfare to support the less fortunate children of Red Ground, one of the most impoverished communities in Negril, with an annual Back-to-School supply giveaway.

Over the years the program has expanded to include scholar monies, Laptop computers and assistance with school expenses, to students who have shown exceptional academic talent, despite their socioeconomic challenges. With the help of my wife Courtney, whom have spearheaded a campaign to attract  donations from friends and family, we are now able to help more children in the community. 

In the past few years, we have delivered more than 10,000 Back-to-School items, including backpacks, notebooks, coloring books, protractors, rulers, pens, pencils, crayons, markers and many more items to an excess of 500 students. 

As we continue this endeavor to empower every needy child with the tools necessary to succeed academically, we ask everyone who is able, to chip in and donate to help the children in our local communities. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated.
