Summer Review- School Supply&Toy Drive

"The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." Abraham Lincoln

The  RKMFoundation,Inc.  team is nothing  if  not  busy worker bees, even  though we were  soaking in the summer rays,raising families having full-time jobs and taking on life, we are busy doing what we do best,  making  connections to impact the  lives of children in Jamaica.
This year  we have had the pleasure of partnering  with  Jamaica Impact Inc. on their  School Supply and Toy  Drive. We  are  so happy to report that  this was a success. Although  the donations are  not yet in the  hands  of the  little angels  they  will  be  in few  weeks  when  Jamaica Impact Inc. carry out their distribution  efforts in Jamaica. We  will be sure to  fill you in  on these events once they  take  place.

Collection  boxes  where  placed  throughout the  Tri-state area and  family  you  did not  disappoint.I know you guys  may hear  this all the time, but  you are all wonderful!!!!! We  LOVE YOU, WE CANNOT  DO  THIS WITHOUT YOU.  Please  continue  to support us in all our efforts.

We collected a total  of:
 432 pencils
 89 Note Books
 75 Markers
 86 pens
 61 Tennis Balls
59 story books
12 foam  puzzles, erasers, scissors, flash cars, chalk boards, sidewalk chalk, construction paper,lined papers,coloring books,pencil cases,clue sticks, posters crayons stuffed animals, sharpeners, calculators and bag packs.
These numbers  are  only  a sample  of all that was collected  from our  combined  efforts. Children  in urban and rural Jamaica  will  be able to go back to school with school  supplies  because  of your generosity. This will help to ease some the financial strain  that  comes with sending children  back to school  for the new school year.
We  cannot begin to  tell you how excited we  are  about this, how excited we are  that  with  your help  we are a part  of the solution,we are impacting  the lives of children. We  are going to keep working  until  this is no longer and issue  not only  in Jamaica but on a global  level.

We want to send  love to Jamaica Impact Inc. for all that they do and continue to do, for continuing to impact children in Jamaica through early childhood education.To the individuals who donated, to the business, schools, libraries and organizations who  had  the collection boxes in their business places. THANK YOU ALL!!!


Much Love & Walk Good
