Reflecting on Impact and Gratitude
As I look back on the journey of Jamaica Volunteer Programs, I’m reminded of the incredible stories that have unfolded through the lives we've touched. I recently revisited this heartfelt message from a parent that filled me with pride and gratitude:
"Maureen, I want to let you know my daughter, Dana, who was in your program 5 years ago, is doing great! She used her experience with you to write a beautiful essay to help her get into college and receive a full scholarship.
This past May, she graduated as a Salutatorian and started a great teaching job today. She is also attending Teacher's College at Columbia for graduate school. Thank you for your program and the great college recommendation you wrote for her, which really made me cry! I hope your business is going well. Not only do you deserve to be successful, but what you do to help the children in your community is priceless!"
Stories like Dana's are why I do what I do. Knowing that our programs create unforgettable experiences and open doors to life-changing opportunities fills my heart with joy.
To every volunteer, parent, and supporter who has been part of this journey:
