UFJ General meeting and School Supplies Drive – October 18th, 2008 – Atlanta

Amongst other topics

SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE
Greetings fellow volunteers, activists, and friends,

As the holiday season approaches, we all look forward to spending time with
family and friends, both here and back home (wherever that may be).  Many of
us see the holidays as a time to share and to give.  In the spirit of
giving, members of United for Jamaica have answered the call to assist in
the annual JamPact Christmas Treats program at various basic schools in economically
challenged areas that have also been adversely affected by the recent storms
that have passed through the Caribbean.

The students are in desperate need of school supplies, specifically notebooks, pens, pencils notebook paper, book bags, computers and folders.  Last year your donations helped
over 300 students, lets push that number to 1, 000.

We would appreciate ANYTHING that you can give from the list above.  No
amount is too small!   Contact me via phone 404 533 1248 or email
[email protected] for
any additional information.
