The Talk !!!

 Have you  ever  wondered  what  happen  after  you  leave  a room, a school where you volunteered, an interview,the library or  dinner  with  friends ??????
 I am  so  happy  we are  not alone in this, it would be really  awkward !!!!!

Recently  we had the pleasure  of  talking  with Mrs. Teressine  Barro, the principal of  Niagara  primary  school located  in the parish of  St. James, Jamaica. The  students of  this  school  benefited  from  the efforts  of our  first  toy  drive. The  conversation   focused  on the  students and  their  reaction  to  the  book and  toy  given to each  child. Mrs. Barro  spoke  about  the  children's reaction  weeks after  we had  visited."They  were  so  excited  and it  gave  them  hope  and  a sense of ownership  and  belonging... for  most  of our students  they have  never  had  anything to call their own.... they  were  so  happy and grateful for what the foundation did " Mrs.Barro continued  to   expressed her  sincere gratitude to the foundation   on  behalf  of  her  student and  entire  staff. She  also  shared  with  us  the  achievements  of   her 5th and  6th  graders  who  ranked  in the 87 percentile  in  Mathematics and 95th percentile  in Reading. It  was  such  a pleasure  speaking with  her and we  left the conversation  feeling more focused  and  renewed in our  efforts to continue  impacting  the lives  of  children in rural  Jamaica.

 We chose  to  share  this  story  with  you  because  it  meant so  much  to us. This  is  an  opportunity  for  you  to  hear these testimonials and  understand  that  your  donations  are  helping us  to impact  lives  in  a positive  way.

Much love & Walk  good!!!!
