Things About United Friends Of Jamaica To Keep In Mind

By Andrew Hayes


Over the years a lot of organizations are made which support a humanitarian cause. By providing support and assistance to the less fortunate and needy ones, their community might develop somehow. Thanks to efforts of the volunteers, development in various areas might be possible.

Today, not every country is blessed with good resources. This is why groups like the United Friends of Jamaica are made. Its a non profit group that is dedicated to support some areas that need improvement such as education, economic progress and health care of Jamaica. Developed in the year of 1982, such kind of group has tremendously helped a lot of people through constant support and benevolent activities. Here are few important matters to learn about this.

Its mainly dedicated for the Jamaican people raising over millions of donations and sum of money on behalf of some charitable and non profit entities. Their goal is to seek improvement on the lives of Jamaican people. Supporting initiatives that help strengthen and improve the nation is one thing they strive best in order to become of good help to each and every person.

Just like with other groups, a series of ups and downs also occur. But in spite the struggles they have experience, they remained optimistic on lending a hand to thousands of individuals, families and communities who need them most. Because of support and dedication of numerous volunteers and other partners, they have made remarkable fear for so many years.

Anne F. Sabo is the founder of UFJ and she also directed it until 2003. Annual gala events are also developed which is created to raise funds. Of course, there are so many programs and activities they have got involved into to ensure that they collect enough amount of resources for helping those who need a hand, especially the communities that are in dire need of help.

Awards are also provided to the people who have made accomplishments and leave good marks on helping communities. Most awardees include business leaders, entertainment personalities, public figures and even philanthropists. Its first chairman in 1982 was a former US Ambassador. Apparently, there are other leaders who also serve and have played important role on UFJ.

The group support a lot of causes that mostly focused on helping the community. It was in this year, however, that the focus of the president is about Child Resiliency Programs. Since child related issues cause a serious plague to the family and community, a lot of volunteers are trying hard to protect the welfare and the safety of the kids as they slowly grow up.

Because of this type of program, the performance and effectiveness of students have dramatically improved, particularly on several school programs. Helping children beforehand can help them arrive with great choices and avoid harmful activities. For that, their performances will be effective, be it in home or school.

Building organizations that help people is such a good thing. However, there are many associated challenges on it. But with the help of volunteers, a change would sooner or later be realized.
