About Jamaica YES
Youth Education Support
Jamaica's Minister of Education - Sept. 2004
"It is estimated that over 40 percent of primary students complete that level of their education without mastery of the requisite literacy and numeracy skills."
"Jamaica, land we love...." For most Jamaicans living abroad, we strongly embrace that chorus line from our national anthem. Upon hearing the plight of the students at St. Theresa Basic school, five Jamaicans living in the Dallas area were spurred into action to help.
Learn how five Jamaicans got together and formed Jamaica Youth Education Support (Jamaica YES), a non-profit, IRS Section 501(c)3 organization in October of 2004.
