CORNERSTONE JAMAICA'S MISSION IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE AND RESOURCES TOGETHER TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE HEALTH AND EDUCATION IN JAMAICAN COMMUNITIES.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3
IN RESPONSE TO THE EDUCATIONAL EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE CONTINUED THE "CORNERSTONECONNEX" PROGRAM TO ENHANCE OR ESTABLISH INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES TO ADVANCE LEARNING AND THE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE FOR JAMAICAN SCHOOL CHILDREN. THIS INITIATIVE WAS DEDICATED TO ASSISTING OUR DESIGNATED PARTNER SCHOOLS IN CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET. IT ALSO PROVIDED DEVICES SUCH AS SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLETS AND CHROMEBOOKS AS LEARNING AND CYBER SAFETY RESOURCES. OUR GOAL WAS TO ACHIEVE CONNECTIVITY IN THE CLASSROOM TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' HOME LEARNING EXPERIENCE. OVERALL, CORNERSTONECONNEX DISTRIBUTED 1,000 TABLETS, PROVIDED CYBER SAFETY EDUCATION TO 2,000 STUDENTS AND 400 PARENTS, AND PROVIDED 13 SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SITES WITH INTERNET ACCESS.
IN SEPTEMBER 2021, WE BEGAN PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING FOR THE RE-LAUNCH OF CORNERSTONE JAMAICA'S FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, SEE BETTER. LEARN BETTER. THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY INITIATIVES ONE THE ISLAND THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE EYE CARE THAT IS INTEGRATED WITH THE OVERALL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM TO CHILDREN IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS OF JAMAICA. DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE PROGRAM WAS PAUSED WITH HOPES OF RELAUNCHING IN NOVEMBER 2021. HOWEVER, THE PROGRAM WAS STILL DELAYED UNTIL SPRING 2022.
THE MAJOR PROJECT OF 2021 WAS "CONTAINER OF LOVE," WHICH WAS CREATED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A VARIETY OF PARTNER SCHOOLS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMMUNITIES. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC INCREASED INEQUITIES ACROSS COMMUNITIES IN JAMAICA, REQUIRING THE INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE SUPPORT TO HAVE MORE NEEDS AND TO SERVE MORE FAMILIES. IN THE SUMMER OF 2021, WE FILLED A 40-FOOT CONTAINER WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF REQUESTED ITEMS TO SUPPORT OUR PARTNER'S SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES IN WESTMORELAND AND HANOVER. AT THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC, WITH LOTS OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER SUPPORT, OVER 4,000 INDIVIDUALS WERE IMPACTED AFTER WE DISTRIBUTED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF ITEMS TO 11 PRIMARY SCHOOLS, 4 EARLY CHILDCARE CENTERS, 6 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE SAVANNA-LA-MAR HOSPITAL, WOMEN'S CENTRE OF JAMAICA, AND THE NEGRIL POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
GRANTS WERE MADE TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE MISSIONS COMPLEMENTED OUR OWN.
