  • Congratulations to the 2014 LAMB Scholarship Recipients

    Picture

    We at LAMB Foundation would like to thank everyone who continues to make our scholarships possible. We look forward to another successful year in 2015.

    Consi Duvalier-Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Scholarship
    This year’s recipient for the Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Award has painted a portrait of excellence for herself. Since the initiation of LAMB Foundation Scholarships we have continually seen her name as a strong candidate at every grade level. This student has already in the last 2 years received 3 LAMB Scholarships from placing in the top 3 of her class in 2012 and 2013 and also being the top scorer on her Numeracy exam. This year she will walk away with two more from LAMB Foundation Scholarship, this being one. 

    One thing we do know from life and pursuing education is, if you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you. You cannot be stopped!  In your essay to LAMB Foundation, you stated receiving this award would show that your hard work has paid off, well, Consi Duvalier, we would like to congratulate you and say, my dear, your work has paid off, but don’t stop here. The world is yours to conquer. Stay focused, and before you know it you will be holding the world in your hands.

    Deneisha Dawkins-Dorothy Williams Scholarship
    Dorothy Williams Scholarship is always a very hard task. This year’s recipient for this award is an ambitious young lady who poured her heart and desires into her essay. She is excited to learn and hopes to become a teacher one day. It was evident from her essay that receiving this scholarship was not just for the benefit of this young student, she had a heart that extends beyond her age. She cares to help her family, and her community. While this scholarship may only be able to help her through school, she refuses to let that be the reason she cannot reach back and help someone else in her position. This is the type of student that earns her way to success pulling someone else working towards the same goal. The reason she aims to be a teacher is because of that one special teacher Ms.. Brown whom though strict as she says, wants nothing but the best for her. Well, Ms. Deneisha Dawkins congratulations on receiving the Dorothy Williams Scholarship this year. We hope to hear more about your journey to becoming a teacher, and as you continue on don’t forget the proverb: “one good turn deserves another.”

    Cassandrann Dennis-  Duhany-Bell Alumni Award
    This year we started a new scholarship opened for students currently in high school, who are excelling in their studies. This year our recipient is no stranger to LAMB Scholarships. She has received 3 LAMB Scholarships awards in 2 years by placing top 3 in her class here at Moores Primary in 2012 and 2013. She was also the recipient of our Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Awards in 2013. Now attending Denbigh High School she has finished her first year once again at the top of her class. She has now extended her extra curricular activities to 4H club and the netball team. You stated you wanted to make the members of LAMB Foundation proud, ever since we met you Ms. Cassandrann Dennis we have been proud. You are relentless and dedicated, and I am sure your friends, family, Moores Primary and community members are all proud of your great accomplishments. Congratulations Cassandrann Dennis. Hopefully with this award you will continue to excel.

  • Be the Difference: Naima Stennett SAT Scholarship Fund

    Picture

    LAMB Foundation has partnered with Naima Stennett SAT Scholarship Fund to give back even more to the athlete’s we come in contact with each year. 

    This scholarship fund will provide scholarships that will cover the FULL cost of the standardized test for college admissions in the United States (SAT) for Jamaican athletes (with a focus on volleyball players), of which we will extend to others who may take the SAT in other countries that LAMB Camp is active. 

    Naima was born in St. Catherine, Jamaica. She attended Wolmers High school for girls where she played netball, ran track and even tried swimming but she had the greatest passion for volleyball. She is currently pursuing her medical degree (MD) at Brody School of Medicine in North Carolina.

    She also got the opportunity to play volleyball for Jamaica National Volleyball junior team and senior team. Her experience with playing volleyball for Jamaica afforded her the “passport” to North Carolina Central University (NCCU) on a full 4 year volleyball scholarship at 16 where she majored in biology with a minor in chemistry.

    She found out about LAMB from the founder and teammate on the Jamaica National Volleyball Senior Team Miss Lecia Brown. She was very inspired to know that an organization like LAMB was already making an impact and it further fueled her drive to start her scholarship fund. 

    Michelle Obama once said “…when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity…you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed”

    Take the opportunity to watch the video above to learn more about Ms. Naima Stennett and the Naima Stennett SAT Scholarship Fund.

    Application Process includes:

    1. A word document with a clear photo of yourself: Please state your full name, your high school and/or college, your D.O.B, club volleyball team (if applicable) and current occupation.
    2. A personal statement describing the greatest personal challenge you have faced which you feel has helped to shape you as a person. Examples may include a time when you felt you were “in over your head,” or a time when you felt personally criticized. You may also discuss a moral or ethical dilemma, a situation of personal adversity, or a hurdle in your life that you worked hard to overcome. Please include how you got through the experience and what you may have learned about yourself. 9Essays should be no greater than 2 pages.)
    3. Recommendation letter sent via email from your high school coach and a teacher/ or person of your choice. 
    4. A letter/email from a coach from an America University stating their interest in you (if applicable)
    5. High school and/or College transcript. A digital copy of the transcript can be sent.
    6. Please include the date you are planning on taking the SAT.
    7. All information needs to be sent at stennettn13@students.ecu.edu AND cc

  • LAMB Camp 2013 Jamaica

    Picture

    Another year has gone by and we have come to the end of another summer which means we had the privilege of hosting our 2nd annual LAMB Camp in Jamaica for 2013. The kids turned up bright and early in the morning and camp was on its way. The camp hosted kids from a variety of schools and covered all aspects of the game from passing, defense, blocking to hitting.

    We also had a discussion session with the campers where they were made aware of what it takes and what they need to do to get to the next level by our founder and camp director Lecia Brown, who is a member of the Jamaica National Volleyball Team and a former professional player that played 2 season in Poland winning MVP and #1 blocker titles. The camp saw awards going to Erica Harris, Cavell Williams, Ronalee Thompson, Sodeika Smith and our most outstanding camper of the day went to Avielle Jones.

    We here at LAMB Inc would like to say a big thank you to all the people that made LAMB Camp in Jamaica a big success again this year. A big shout out goes UWI for stepping up at the last minute to provide the venue to host the camp, because of a minor issue with the previously booked venue we had to change venues in the end.

    SPECIAL THANK YOU

    We would like to say a special thank you to all our donors that donated to make LAMB Camp 2013 Jamaica a success. To all our campers that showed up and showed out to make the camp possible and to our volunteers and coaches that devoted their time and energy to helping the kids develop their skills for the game that they love. We all say thank you.

    SPONSORS/SUPPORTERS

    If it were not for our sponsors and great supporters this camp would not be possible we would like to thank you and we look forward to working with you more in the future.

  • LAMB Camp 2013: Kenya

    Picture

    Although due to unforeseen reason, LAMB Camp was not able to work in Senegal (UGB campus) as expected, there was a great opportunity presented to be able to launch the camp in Kenya.

    On July 20, 2013, LAMB Foundation partnered with the Member of Parliament (MP) Honorable Wesley Korir of the Cherangany Constituency and also the founder of Kenyan Kids Foundation to begin a journey of promoting volleyball across Kenya.

    They said a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and that is exactly what this camp is set out to do. The camp hosted 45 girls and 1 boy at Kipkeikei High School. We explored the basics and fundamentals of volleyball from blocking, to passing, serving and the steps needed to attack.

    3 different schools and 1 neighborhood were represented at the camp. Students from Kipteudeh Secondary, Potwa Secondary, IDP camp and the host school Kipkeikei High were present. The outstanding students of the day were announced as Violah Chepkemai, Bartrobah Chesang, and Stellah Chepkemboi.

    After long deliberation pre and post camp we have established a committee of individuals dedicated to making LAMB camp more than just 1 annual event. We plan to dispurse specialty skills throughout the league tournaments each year. At certain tournaments representatives from LAMB Committee will provide 2-hour sessions (Saturday and Sunday) to build the fundamentals of volleyball with the youth. Each year we will then follow up with our annual camp to bring forth the best of the camp participants to learn additional skills and find opportunity for advancing in volleyball.

    See more photos by clicking here.

    The names committee is as follows:

    Chairman/Co-Chairman: Lecia Brown & Hon. Dan Wanyama

    Secretary: Vivian Sum

    Coordinator: Jacob Cheluget

    Coaches: Hosea Kemboi, Coach Kibet, Israel Cheruiyot Rutto, Martin Ochieng

    Technical Advisors:  Salamba Miendo, Evans Wasike, Hon. Wesley Korir, Kogo Josphat

Again, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts and we look forward to working with you in the future!

    We would also like to announce the winner of the School Supply Drive is Miss Brooke Andreychuck. Congratulations!!!

    Thanks again! Remember, “If you have then GIVE”

    Sorry again. 

  • Premier Annuelle LAMB Volley-ball Camp au Senegal

    Picture

    In 2012, LAMB first partnered with the Universite of Gaston Berger men volleyball team. After seeing the need to spread volleyball especially among young girls in the area we decided we needed to make this our priority in St. Louis.

    We plan to initiate LAMB Volleyball Camp on Sunday, July 14 2013, at the Universite of Gaston Berger as a one-day camp. For the inaugural staging of the camp, we would like to work with the men’s volleyball team coached by Moussa Diop as the coaches. Our plan is to work with young female players to promote volleyball in St. Louis.

    The LAMB Inc camp offers a more pragmatic approach to learning the various aspects of volleyball, as it not only introduces and expands on the basics of volleyball, but also surround the players with avenues to see success in volleyball. Our camp will involve a live panel discussion with a high school volleyball team in the United States, as well as detailed discussion of the process to take the sport to the next level.

    We are kindly asking you to support our LAMB Volleyball Camp on Sunday, July 14, 2013. We will be serving lunch, and a post practice meal. In addition, nourishment will be provided throughout the camp.  In addition, individuals who have financial issues may contact us to be compensated for their travels. We do not want the opportunity at hand to be missed because of an uncontrollable circumstance.

     Thank you in advance. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact Lecia Brown via email at lamb@lambinc.org.

  • 2nd Annual LAMB Volleyball Camp in Jamaica.

    Picture

    For the second year, LAMB Foundation will be hosting a 18 and under volleyball camp. We would like to reach out to young, talented and athletic girls under the age of 18 years who embody the drive, dedication, passion and coach-able attitude to excel in the sport. We want to give these young talents the best possible outlet to obtaining a full scholarship by giving them one on one attention through our LAMB Inc camp.

    We initiated LAMB Camp in August 2012, at the GC Foster College of Sports and Physical Education as a one-day camp. For the inaugural staging of the camp, we had a great group of young players and dedicated coaches. With the overall success achieved at the camp we wanted to give these players more time to develop.

     The LAMB Inc camp offers a more pragmatic approach to learning the various aspects of volleyball, as it not only introduces and expands on the basics of volleyball, but also surround the players with avenues to see success in volleyball. Our camp will involve a live panel discussion with a high school volleyball team in the United States, as well as detailed discussion of the process to take the sport to the next level.

    We are kindly asking for player nominations with the potential to take volleyball to the next level. Please evaluate not only the players with the technical skills of volleyball but also through height, jumping ability, and quickness. We are also open to netball and basketball players interested in exploring volleyball having the qualities mentioned.

    The camp will be held in Jamaica on August 16th and 17th, 2013. Due to the nature of our camp and our focus to have 2:1 player to coach ratio, we will not be able to host everyone. However, we hope that in the near future we can expand our camp to accommodate more athletes.

     We will be serving lunch, and a post practice meal. In addition  nourishment will be provided throughout the camp.  In addition, individuals who have financial issues may contact us to be compensated for their travels. We do not want the opportunity at hand to be missed because of an uncontrollable circumstance.

     If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact Lecia Brown via email at lamb@lambinc.org or Kamille Dwyer at +1-876-469-2549.
