Mother’s Day Cards Initiative

In the spirit of appreciation and kindness, our club members came together to create heartfelt Mother’s Day cards for the mothers in the maternity ward at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI). Each card was designed with love and filled with encouraging words to celebrate the strength and dedication of these incredible women. This initiative was a small but meaningful way to spread joy and let them know they are valued and appreciated on their special day.

"The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness."

Free Rice Marathon

Free Rice is an online educational game and charitable initiative run by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Participants answer multiple-choice questions on various subjects, and for each correct answer, the platform donates a small amount of rice to help fight global hunger. The initiative is a fun and impactful way to contribute to a meaningful cause.

We had a Free Rice Marathon, where members dedicated their time to making a difference. Serena Williams led the way with the highest contribution, securing first place. As a club, we collectively contributed an impressive 26 hours and 56 minutes!

Beautification of Glenhope Nursery with the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Kingston

In partnership with the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Kingston, our members assisted in beautifying Glenhope Nursery, a home that provides care and support for abandoned, abused, neglected, orphaned and disabled children. We worked to enhance the facility by painting, cleaning, and decorating spaces to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. This initiative was a testament to our dedication to early childhood development and the impact of collective service in improving the lives of children in need.

Beautification of RJR Basic School with UCC

Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.

Through a collaborative effort with the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) Circle K Club, we worked to revitalize the RJR Basic School. Volunteers came together to repaint classrooms, restore playground equipment, all to create a more engaging and stimulating learning environment for the students. This project showcased the power of teamwork and service, ensuring that the children have a welcoming space to learn and grow.
