Living in Jamaica is like living in paradise. It is the most wonderful experience. The people are very friendly and we have a rich culture, with beautiful landscape.

The Sandals Foundation has helped many schools in the Caribbean. It helps to fund and repair schools, help people and communities to improve their standards, status, growth and help to make life a little more enjoyable. It also promotes good environmental practices.

My school was one of the schools that has benefited from the foundation. We were given a computer lab so that computer studies could become a part of our curriculum. The buildings were painted, a reading garden was built to encourage reading and a team of dentists now visit the school annually to give us free dental treatment.

We were also taught how to be more environmentally-friendly, by making compost heaps, participating in beach clean-ups and using recycled materials to make new items.

All the students and parents were involved in the project and we are all very grateful and appreciative for the work that has been done.

We feel proud whenever members from the Sandals Foundation start a new project and everyone is always really happy to see them when they come to our school for a visit.
