CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY BY WALKING IN HIS FOOTSTEPS

Our Story

Sophia (affectionately known as Cocoa), a woman of God has a passion for helping people. She saw adults and children of the small, rural and farming community of Troy in Jamaica struggling, in expressing themselves reading, writing and even communicating. A heavenly desire was created in her heart to help these beautiful people who were less fortunate than herself. She prayed and agonized over this Heavenly desire, but where would she find resources and a place to see her dream becomes a reality. At the same time Ronald was seriously thinking of relocating to Jamaica the place of his birth. He too has a passion to see adults and children being educated with what he calls true education that prepares individuals not only for this world but the world to come. Ronald has been thinking of a school with a Wellness Center and a Restaurant and whatever else God wants him to do. Both of them( Ronald and Sophia) started to pray earnestly as to how to begin. Ronald suggested that God will provide a place and also the students, realizing not too many people both adults and children want to acknowledge their deficiency. As it was providential Sophia shared her dream with someone( Ms Mac) that she has known for awhile and Ms Mac suggested using her building to begin. Sophia shared the wonderful news with Ronald and both agreed this indeed was providential. The school started June of 2018 with 3 Adults and 7 children and has been growing ever since. there are 2 teaching assistants and Sophia being the Lead Teacher and all are volunteering. Since the inception of the school we have conducted a Health Fair for the Community in December of 2018.
