  • Changing lives, one student at s time

    But despite a very rough life, Rowe was the only child who passed the Common Entrance from his district that year, gaining a place at the prestigious Munro College in the parish.
    "No one was expecting me to pass, let alone pass for Munro, because of how poorly I attended school. So I remember I didn't even check the papers when results came out," he explained.
    But Rowe did not have much time to bask in his success, as he was immediately confronted with the reality that if his grandmother could hardly afford to send him to the nearby primary school, how much more difficult would it be to board at Munro.

    What a journey to overcome.

    I have known quite a few stories like this in Jamaica, where a man has doubts about paternity and proceeds to make life extremely difficult for a child. Sometimes the child doesn't find out the reason until they are grown.

      A few years ago, a baby rescued from a trash can, went on to become a Rhodes scholar. He also attended MC.

      I brag because I've seen so many real life stories like these, where students who may not have had the benefit of a good primary education went on to accomplish great things having spent time in that city on the hill. That's what you call value added!

        A mi good friend brother. I posted on here how she overcame too. We went to HEART in Runaway Bay. She also has her PHD and is Region director for HEART.

        Good for the family.
