Sunwing Foundation to build school in Jamaica

The Sunwing Foundation will undertake its first project next month with the funding and construction of a new, state of the art school in Jamaica.

The project will take place in collaboration with Helping Hands Jamaica Foundation and Food for the Poor Canada, with the school to be located in the Parish of Trelawny, near Royalton White Sands, one of the Sunwing Travel Group’s Jamaican resorts.

According to Sunwing, the new building and playground are scheduled to be open and ready to welcome 75 students at the beginning of the coming schoolyear.

The new school will be secure, and furnished with all necessary educational modules including desks, teaching materials, books, computer and printer, toys and playground equipment. Additionally, the school will include a separate area where children who are unwell can be cared for, proper water sanitation equipment and kitchen facilities in which hot meals can be prepared for the students.
