The Southern Basketball Conference and the mother of Miss Jennell Houston wishes to express our gratitude to the SDF for providing financial support to Miss Houston enabling her to access her scholarship offer to attend the North Florida Educational Institure recently.
Miss Houston left the island on Tuesday November 8, 2022 and so far the feed back from the coaches have been most encouraging.
Without the support of the SDF this would not have been possible for her and behalf of everybody we wish to express our gratitude and thanks.
Miss Houston we are sure, is very much aware of the responsibility on her shoulders to make maximum use of this opportunity.
Hampton School hereby acknowledges the Sports Development Foundation’s generous gesture of repaving and fencing of our Netball and Tennis Courts. The refurbished Courts are essential to a robust Physical Education and Sport Programme.
As such, we express our profound gratitude and extend to the Sports Development Foundation our best wishes, as it continues in its thrust to assist various institutions in need.
Four youths of our outreach project in the community were recently offered basketball scholarships to attend the North Florida Educational Institute in the USA. Three girls and one boy:
Fabian Kennedy - Camperdown High
Tahjera Forbes - Queens School
Leka Reid - Haile Selassie High
Jennell Houston - Haile Selassie High
Kennedy left the island to start school two weeks ago. Leka Reid and Tahjera Forbes will leave tomorrow at midday.
The 3rd girl Jennell Houston is still pending as her birth paper is being processed. We have been assisted by the office of Minister Grange in resolving this matter.

The Linstead Community Development Committee along with the following organizations namely: St. Helens Youth Group, the Rotary Club of North St. Catherine, the Optimist Club of North St. Catherine and the Optimist Club of Ewarton hosted their Annual Summer Youth Camp under the theme, “Celebrating thirty (30) years of youth and community development through summer youth camping”.
Through your generous contribution this year’s summer camp experience was phenomenal, as we celebrated our thirtieth (30th) anniversary year of camping in full style. We were able to adequately facilitate campers between ages of seven (7) to twenty ( 20) years old from churches, uniformed groups, community groups, as well as those with disabilities.
The camp that was held over the period of August 8th-22nd 2022 sought to build integral life skills while we still practiced the safety measures to prevent the Novel Corona Virus. Team building was the foundation of the camp and expressing gratitude through the spirit of volunteerism.
The Linstead Community Development Committee wishes to express its unwavering appreciation for the help received. With your contributions you have helped to change lives and restore the hopes of a brighter future. Thank you for your continuous support as we continue to build our communities, parishes and our country Jamaica; land we love.
On behalf of the St. Mary Cricket Association, I would like to thank you and your organization for your generous assistance with the staging of our annual Youth Summer Cricket Academy. Your contribution over the past two years has gone a long way in helping our parish rise to the pinnacle of Jamaica’s cricket.
You have no idea how much your assistance means to us in a tough economic climate and at the appropriate time, we will display our appreciation in a more tangible way.
Our youngsters are rearing to go and send their regards.
We look forward to your kind consideration and further dialogue as you see fit. We thank you for your kind consideration and look forward to a continued fruitful and rewarding partnership.
