Hurricane Beryl has disrupted access to essential school supplies for many children in Jamaica. In response, we have partnered with Food for the Poor, Unicycle Jamaica and National Education Trust to brighten the school year for affected families. Support the Jamaica School Supply Drive 2024 by purchasing essential items from our school supply list on Amazon.com. The list will be available online until August 16th, 2024, to ensure timely delivery to Jamaica before the new school year. The school supplies will be distributed in September 2024. Thank you for your support.
