Read Across Jamaica 2017 is under theme" LITERACY MATTERS - READ ALOUDS PROMOTE
COLLABORATION AND CONFIDENCE IN CHILDREN"

Therefore today, May 09, 2017, the entire island of Jamaica is promoting reading with Read Across Jamaica as the pilot.

Read Across Jamaica is an international literacy program formed to foster a love of reading in children in Jamaica and the Diaspora. Since 2003 we have been collecting and distributing books to schools in Jamaica and engaging young people in literacy activities during our yearly trips to the island.

Literacy opens doors and creates opportunities. Access to education is key to helping young people develop and realize their goals and providing books is a vehicle to accomplish them. Our goal is to help Jamaica achieve a 100% literacy rate for its students.


Can you remember reading your first book?
Pick up a book today and let us start reading for a brighter future....

Jamaica Public Service (JPS) taxes late fee charges!!

Image
I am the person who always pays bills on time so for the first time I ended up paying my Jamaica Public Service bill late . To my surprise their late fee attracts GCT. So normally I would benefit a JMD$250 credit for early payment. Now I will have an additional cost of $291.25 ( $250 for late charge and 41.25 for GCT on that late charge). I was soooooo shock when I opened my account this morning... But is this right?

My Heartbeat

 Today marks three year since I was blessed with me son.  At times I would just sit and watch him play or simple just watching the television. Then he would  glance at me for a couple seconds with a big smile on his face as if he knew I was watching him all this time. I love hearing him singing one of his favorite songs like Baa Baa Black Sheep out of the blue as he taps his foot. The way he would run to the door and start jumping when he hears his dad opening the door. He would wake up and then put his teddy bear in his bed all wrapped up nicely and say " Teddy in bed" as he follows it with a laughter. I love him so much and cannot imagine a day without even the day when I chooses not to obey not one of my requests. Happy Birthday My Prince.... mommy loves you lots...
