Education - the future depends on it! These children are the reason why we are doing what we do.

We are a non-profit group of volunteers with family ties to Westmoreland. Our aim is to enhance Jamaican society in general by improving the quality of Early Childhood Education (ECE) through encouragement and support of the community's "basic schools" or "Early Childhood Institutes" (ECIs).

All the funds we raise go to provide practical assistance with the operation of schools, donations towards building materials, school equipment and supplies. We adopt schools and fund ECE teachers' scholarships through the auspices of P.A.C.E. (Canada)***. We also fund special building projects, working with Food For the Poor in Canada and Jamaica.

WBSS Members (Above L-R):

Pat Williams-Chung, Hyacinth Reynolds, Avril James, Fern Williams, Denise Parkins, Margaret Williams, Penny Williams, Debbie Chin-Fook, Lillie Johnson

(New member not shown: Tricia Williams-Wanzama)
