Shawna-Kaye Journeys to Africa

Picture

Clarendon, Jamaica- LAMB Inc sends a young Jamaican Mico University student, Shawna Kay Williams to Senegal, Africa to represent the Supernova Scholarship program from July 24, 2010 to August 5, 2010 for an International Conference hosted by BridgeKids International (www.Bridge-Kids.org).

LAMB Inc is a non profit organization started by Lecia AM Brown (Jamaican Native) in 2008. It aims to improve the lives and opportunities for individuals in developing countries in the area of education, health, and athletics. Supernova is the scholarship program that reaches out to young children. The program is set to not only financially assist the students, but to also give them the exposure and opportunities to achieve and establish their future goals. The first group of students are either current of past students of Moores Primary and Junior High working to establish a library on their school compound to benefit their school and surrounding communities.

Shawna Kay Williams will be in an exciting week-long Bridge Kids Camp on the campus of Université Gaston Berger in the historic city of St. Louis, Senegal.  She will participate in cultural activities, leadership seminars, skill building sessions and visit field projects of local NGOs.  With the support of educators and practitioners, the dynamic group of Bridge Kids will learn about each other and the countries and cultures they represent, as well as assist one another as they perfect their project designs for serving their home communities.  Rounding out the experience, the young people will celebrate the 350th anniversary of the city of St. Louis, participate in the planning for the Museum of the African Child to be established there, visit the Djouj Bird Sanctuary and travel to Dakar, Senegal’s capitol city.

We would like to extend our best wishes to Miss Williams on her journey and thank everyone who has supported and helped us in all our endeavors and in making this trip possible. For in our program we believe that “True Success is the success that changes you and the people around you.” Anonymous.
