 I am Dr. Jolivette, and I have been working with communities in Jamaica since January 2026 to support people affected by Hurricane Melissa. I have traveled to Jamaica in January, April, May and June of 2026 organizing meetings to listen to the communities members.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am seeking donations to help purchase <strong>EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION SUPPLIES </strong>and to cover <strong>on island transportation costs (for October 15 and 16)</strong> for car, driver, going to stores in Montego Bay, and delivering items to the Bluefields Basic School in Westmoreland between October 17 - 19. I am scheduled to return to Jamaica November 23 - 30, 2026.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am traveling October 15 to 20 to attend meetings related to cultural work with museums and youth. I will be traveling again in November to participate in an educational event that teaches the history of Jamaica to the public. I would like to do the following:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 1. Collect / Purchase items that can fit in my luggage with<strong> minimal extra costs for excess baggage </strong>on Delta Airlines
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 2. Use financial donations to purchase items on the island to offset personal costs for private driver to take me to the stores and to drive me from Montego Bay to Belmont and Bluefields in Westmoreland to deliver the items to the school. (Approximately 1.5 hours drive from Montego Bay).
</div>

 This is footage from May 2026 when we visited to drop off book donations to the Bluefields Basic School. We brought water and juices as well. The video footage shows the devastation caused by the hurricane. The school has a roof now, but they still need supplies for the children. <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/j3JidheVrT1BUrUZ7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/j3JidheVrT1BUrUZ7" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://photos.app.goo.gl/j3JidheVrT1BUrUZ7</a></a>
