THE J Wray & Nephew Foundation (JWNF) and Nestle Jamaica have hailed as “gratifying” their Nutrition Roll-Out partnership, which unfurled on Easter's eve at schools across the island.

An estimated 3,500 children from seven institutions in Kingston, Clarendon and St Elizabeth benefited from the roll-out, which saw 18,000 Nestle cereals and packets of its Nesfruta drink, plus sachets of milk provided by JWNF being donated.
Benefactors were Kemp's Hill Basic and Gimme-Me-Bit Primary, both located in Clarendon; Seaview Gardens Primary and Seaward Primary and Junior High, along with Balmagie Primary and St Patrick's Primary School in Kingston; as well as Appleton Estate Basic School in St Elizabeth.

The JWN Foundation, which operates under the mantra 'Transforming lives and communities for a better Jamaica', has three pillars — Education, Social Inclusion and Culture. At present, the Foundation's activities are concentrated on developing the communities surrounding J Wray and Nephew Limited's operations.
“We are truly grateful that Nestle has joined forces with us to assist the students within our communities. Through these nutritious cereals and juice mixes the students will be better equipped to learn and pursue excellence,” said Chairman of JWNF, Clement “Jimmy” Lawrence. more
