In
Jamaica, there is a saying "wan wan coco ful baskit" ("one one cocoa,
full basket"). It simply means every little bit helps so take your time
and you will achieve your goal. The RKM Foundation, Inc. was compelled
by this sentiment, and felt that this proverb encompassed our
fundraising efforts and our organization as a whole. In 2013 we need to
raise a minimum of $5000 through our fundraising events.
Family in our continuous effort to teach you Patois and all things Jamaican here is yet another Jamaican proverb. This proverb is the slogan for our First Fundraising campaign.We are so excited to share this news with you all!This is such a monumental step for us, the
little engine that could, did, and will continue to do. This is a labor of
love from us all and we need your support.
The “One One Cocoa Full Basket” fundraising
campaign will help us to efficiently fund our programs and carry out
our daily activities which directly impacts the lives of children in
rural Jamaica and “YOU” can help. Every dollar donated to the “One, One Cocoa…”campaign
will be directly used in collecting, transporting, packaging, shipping
and the distribution of toys and books to school children ages 4-10 years in rural Jamaica. It will also improve the possibility for us to launch our 2014 early
childhood reading program. The use of this proverb as our slogan aims
to facilitate a spirit of philanthropy, giving each person the
opportunity to be a vital part of a major cause.
Family we know
that you are behind as we continue to make our mark and change the
lives of Jamaica's youth. We feel your perpetual love and support and we know that with your help we will reach our goal for 2013.
One donation at a time fills our basket and impacts the lives of numerous children in rural Jamaica “One, One Cocoa” at a time.
