Let's give our kids a fair chance!
A Better Jamaica’s Jamaica Read-a-thon helps us fund our Jamaica Reads program. Jamaica Reads deploys senior citizens to local elementary schools to provide one-on-one tutoring to 1st graders struggling with the acquisition of their reading skills.
You can help us get more 1st graders reading at grade level — and experience greater academic success — by becoming a reader/fundraiser for The Jamaica Read-a-thon 2021. We just need you to spend 15 minutes of your time to read your favorite children's book(s) on Tuesday, November 30th between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.
We’re looking for 24 friends to rally their friends, family, and networks to support A Better Jamaica's Jamaica Reads program.
Whether you just want to read, or read and fundraise, click the same "Start Fundraising" button above. Go through all the steps, even if you just want to read. You never know, someone may just want to reward your generosity by making donation. Thank you.
