"Wan Wan Cocoa Ful Baskit" (One one Cocoa Full Basket )

  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.
