School Supplies Drive for Jamaica

For many families in Jamaica, the cost of living is a daily struggle. Many are hard pressed to afford the basic necessities, much less luxuries such as school supplies. The Rural Retreat Community Training Center has specifically requested backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils and calculators.

Won't you please tuck some of these items into your suitcase? You can deposit your donations in Greening Headquarters on days 1 and 2. All passengers who bring donations will be entered into a drawing to win a special prize.
