The Jazz Poetry Foundation, a Christian organisation rooted in the values of faith, education, and community, continues to inspire change across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. With the belief that every child deserves both academic and biblical literacy, the Foundation works alongside schools and partners to empower young people to learn, grow, and lead with purpose.
On September 18, 2025, the Foundation hosted its 2nd annual “Beyond Boundaries” Book Drive — a two-day outreach initiative dedicated to students in underserved and rural areas. This year’s focus extended to:
Sandy Bay Secondary School (Georgetown)
Petit Bordel Secondary School (Petit Bordel)
Each school received:
100 textbooks
Essential school supplies
Bible tracts to encourage faith alongside education
These contributions reflect the Foundation’s broader mission: bridging the gap in educational access and ensuring students have the resources to thrive. With the right tools, students are empowered not only to achieve academically but also to strengthen their character and transform their communities.
Partnerships that Power Change
This year’s book drive was made possible through the steadfast support of community-minded sponsors:
FLOW St. Vincent – fully funded the stationery distributed to both schools, ensuring every student received the supplies they needed.
GECCU Ltd. – official apparel sponsor, outfitting the outreach team with branded shirts to represent the mission in style.
Smithy Rentals – provided safe and reliable transportation to Georgetown and Petit Bordel.
These collaborations remind us that when businesses, organisations, and communities unite, real transformation happens.
How You Can Help
The Foundation continues to accept donations to expand future outreach:
New or gently used textbooks (all academic levels)
School supplies
School uniforms
Your contribution will directly benefit students in future drives, ensuring that no child is left behind in the pursuit of knowledge and faith.
