I need an all ages school off the beaten path. One that rarely or never gets donations from those of us that take school supplies regularly. I have a local middle school that wants to adopt a jamaican school.
I know what supplies to ask these kids to buy ( they don't want to donate cash), i've been donating to schools in jamaica for years. This will be only the 2nd time tho that i've donated to an all ages school....vs. aa basic school. I may even be able to get the local school uniform supplier to help if the kids here want to spend that much.
This is a local school with over 150 wealthy kids who really want to make a difference. i don't believe in buying supplies there, i have a pretty smooth running system where i get stuff here and ship it via us air cargo i have dealing with customs down to a science.......so here's what i need help with asap... need to find a school within reasonable driving distance of negril, a phone number, contact person, number of kids, wish lists, pics of the school or the kids would be great. I know i'm asking a lot and i need this info asap.
the teacher asked me for this info almost 2 weeks ago and i've been sick(not to mention my computer crashed weeks ago and i just got htis one running tonite) and if i don't get this info the kids will pick some other project. any and all help is most welcome. you can e mail me at work at lklein@lindakleinlaw.com
also, if any of you know how to cut and paste, which i do not, if you could forward this to gail from treehouse i would be most grateful
i typed this once tonite and lost it....Lord please let it post this time.
thanks for your help..leenda aka negrilaholic |

Hi Gail, just got back from Negril on Tuesday. Along with Chet & Coleen(you can find them on this board) we have been to a school called Askenish all grade school. Chet found this school by chance several years ago while helping clean up after hurricane Ivan. It is about an hour drive up the mountains near Hanover. It really tugs on your heart strings when we deliver supplies to them. I finally got the contact name and phone number and email from the principal. It is a small school about 1000 square feet in size. They have hit some very hard times this year with teacher cuts and funding cuts. They could really use some help. Last Feb. we took them 2 swings for their swing set frame. This is the only piece of equipment that they have to play on. The photos are from last February. I will upload this trips photos in a few days. I will also email you with more info. Contact info:
Hyacinth Whyte (principal)
Askenish Basic School
