Completion of New School Expansion

Donation protected
Hello future difference makers!

Our names are Nicole and Katrina Black and we are very excited to share with you our involvement in a fundraising project to benefit a Basic School in a rural district named Thompson Town, Clarendon in Jamaica. The Cove Early Childhood Institution "CECI" is the first school our mother, Winsome Black, attended as a child and where she had so many fond memories which she has shared with us.

It has always been our mother's dream to build a bigger school and finally her dream has come true! Through the extremely generous support of a friend of our mother's, the new school is under construction. A one classroom school which unbelievably has 60 kids on roll ranging from ages 2-6 will now be replaced by a school with three classrooms, three girls' bathrooms, three boys' bathrooms, a cafeteria and a principal's office!


What can you do?


We need your help in securing the following:
- funds for completion of construction
- furniture including tables, chairs, teachers' desks, etc.
- kitchen appliances
- internet setup
- computers and tablets
- playground equipment
- scholarship funds for teachers and  need based children
- musical instruments
- foreign language program

       (Groundbreaking Ceremony- April 3, 2017)



Please help us to make this a 21st century facility which will equip its educators with better tools and create a happy and high quality learning environment and outcomes for students. For more details on the school, please visit its website.


Along with the students at CECI, we sincerely thank all those who have already contributed and made this project a success!
