As part of our outreach programme, the Foundation recently entertained some of the elderly persons from the communities surrounding the Harrison’s Cave.  On February 14th, under the theme ‘Love up the Elderly’, six (6) persons ranging from ages seventy to ninety-one were entertained.  They were transported from and to their respective homes, and treated to a tour of the Cave, refreshments & gift baskets.

Spokesman for the residents Mr. Chesterfield Mayers, said that they were delighted and appreciative for the kind gesture.  He thanked the Foundation for the opportunity to view the facility, and complimented the company on the new developments so far, while wishing Chukka much success in their endeavours.

A special thank you goes out to Tropical Luxury Tours for graciously providing transportation for the residents, as well as the staff members who readily volunteered to assist with this venture.

It was our pleasure to partner with Carnival Cruise Line and American Friends of Jamaica for our Labour Day 2023 project at the St Ann’s Bay Hospital. The day was spent planting trees with Rada (The Rural Agricultural Development Authority) on the Hospital grounds, painting the Children’s ward, providing gifts of gratitude to their amazing Nurses and Doctors and donating new fans to the ward! We were thrilled to be a part of such an impactful initiative. A big thank you to our Chukka volunteers who assisted for the day.

Last week we visited Salt Spring Primary/Basic and Hartfield Basic School along with members of the St James Police Divison to assist with serving meals to students and to check in with Principals on progress of our ongoing Breakfast feeding program.

We were thrilled to see that the program continues to bear fruit, making an impact not only for the schools, but the surrounding communities.

High attendance rates which keeps children in schools, increased enthusiasm from both parents and teachers, and key steps towards reparation of police-citizen relations.

A big THANK YOU to our partners for 2022-23, the St James Police Division, Gore Family Foundation, Margaritaville Jamaica, Barnett Limited and Matmar Investments Limited to name a few, who see the vision and purpose behind this initiative, and continue to help us to keep it going!
