MESSAGE FROM HIGH COMMISSIONER
HIS EXCELLENCYTHE HONOURABLE BURCHELL WHITEMAN, OJ.

"For more than a decade, the Jamaica Basic School foundation has been dedicated to supporting the development of early childhood education in Jamaica.

By working closely with the Ministry of Education and other counterpart organizations in Jamaica, like the DRB Grant Memorial Trust, the Jamaica Basic School Foundation has developed a commendable record of providing financial and material support to basic schools across the island.

The altruism of the Basic School Foundation supports the Jamaican Government’s commitment to the important role of early childhood education to the development of a successful and well rounded society.

The support of the Foundation complements the special schemes and programmes implemented by the Government to develop teachers and the physical infrastructure of basic schools island-wide.

I congratulate and commend Ms. Josephine Williams the founder and all other members of the Foundation for the truly outstanding and inspiring work for the development of Jamaican children".
