An Update on Chepstowe School in Jamaica

Big thanks to Great Shape! Inc. and Event Networks for their generous gifts of time and materials to the Chepstowe Basic School, Port Antonio, Jamaica.

Great Shape delivers bags donated by Event Networks to Chepstowe School

In a recent visit, SuperKids volunteers from Great Shape! Inc. delivered bags to children in need, along with reading books and a curriculum and resources to teach reading, computer literacy, sports, art and music.

Event Networks donated 270 computer bags to U.R.G.E. for this program.

Chepstowe is one of many schools assisted by Great Shape! Inc.. Here's some more information about this group:

"Great Shape! Inc. has been serving and partnering with the people of Jamaica since 1988 – we blossomed from the passion of three women in Oregon into an international organization that aids 25,000+ Jamaicans each year. We facilitate three humanitarian projects in Jamaica: 1000 Smiles (world’s largest, international humanitarian dental program), SuperKids (literacy empowerment project) and iCare (vision project). We send 300 volunteers to Negril, Ocho Rios and Montego Bay each fall to provide better vision, improve literacy, and offer life-changing dental procedures."
