The foundation, which has been running several child-focused initiatives over the last two weeks, distributed more than 1,000 books to the school's library.

The books were collected by Lilliane Bastien, a teacher based in Canada, who encouraged her students and their parents to donate more than 100 boxes of books, toys and medical supplies for less fortunate children in Jamaica.

Martin Murphy, principal at Free Hill Primary and Infant School, told The Gleaner that the donation was greatly appreciated and promised that his pupils would put them to good use. read more...
