Seprod Foundation Protection and Hygiene Packages Donation Seprod Foundation saw it imperative to remind Jamaicans to be safe during these unprecedented times with a donation of 1,000 masks and 510 bars of soap to 13 Homes and 2 Primary Schools along with informative safety tip flyers. Donations were made to a number of homes including Glenhope Place of Safety Nursery, Jamaica National Children’s Home, and the City of Refuge Children’s Home. In alignment with the sustainable development goal of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, Seprod Foundation is focused on ensuring that these homes and primary schools in our communities have the resources needed to maintain the health and safety of the staff and children in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.
PEP Scholarship Awards – 2020 Conquerors
2020-2021
One of Seprod Foundation’s top development priorities include strengthening our communities, one individual at a time, through scholarships and grants. Seprod Foundation awarded 40 new scholarships to PEP students. This continues the ongoing scholarships awarded to 108 students overall. We continue to recognize the Late Granville Marsh’s contribution to the company through the Granville Marsh Scholarship Award which was awarded to two top performing students from St. Thomas - Abigail Hunnigan and Kinordo Crawford. Danae Palmer copped the coveted Byron Thompson Award for Academic Achievement. This year, the 2020 recipients were applauded virtually on January 25th and they were motivated to keep conquering their goals from guest speaker, Shani McGraham Shirley.
CASE Scholarship Awards We celebrated the 5 CASE scholars who performed well academically, while giving back to their school and communities, through a virtual ceremony held on February 26th. The scholars shared a bit about themselves and what their scholarship meant to them. With the focus on “The State of Agriculture: Where Do We Go From Here?” the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, The Honorable Floyd Green, MP, the President of JMEA and CEO of Seprod, Richard Pandohie and the President of CASE, Dr. Derrick Deslandes presented on relevant topics to get the scholars thinking about available opportunities in the agriculture industry. Seprod Foundation believes that it is important to promote food security by encouraging and fostering students’ interests in agriculture at the secondary and tertiary school levels and providing available opportunities for these young people through scholarships and internships, while also providing nutritional support where needed.
