Organizations Filed Purposes: THE CORPORATION SHALL RAISE FUNDS TO HELP PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES OF BLUEFIELDS BAY AND THE SOUTH COAST AREA OF JAMAICA AND ALSO TO HELP WITH THE EDUCATION, WELFARE AND HEALTH OF ITS RESIDENTS, WITH EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINING AND SUPPORTING THE LOCAL SCHOOLS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION EFFORTS.

THE BLUEFIELDS BASIC SCHOOL (NURSERY SCHOOL) PROVIDES EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TO CHILDREN AGED THREE TO SIX, AND SERVES 70 CHILDREN AS OF 2019. WE SUPPLEMENT TEACHERS' SALARIES. AS TREASURER OF THE SCHOOL, WE OVERSEE ALL ASPECTS OF HOW MONEY IS SPENT. THIS INCLUDES BUYING FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES, PURCHASING MEAT AND PAYING A COOK TO PROVIDE THE CHILDREN A HOT LUNCH. WE TAKE A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN THE CHILDRENS' DIET AS OBESITY IS A GROWING PROBLEM IN JAMAICA AS A RESULT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF PACKAGED FOOD.

WE SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT DESIGNATED BLUEFIELDS BAY MARINE PARK AND ITS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE COASTAL ECOSYSTEM; INCLUDING REHABILITATION OF THE GROYNES THAT REDUCE THE BEACH COASTAL EROSION.

THE BELMONT ACADEMY IN BLUEFIELDS IS OUR LOCAL PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL WHICH ATTRACTS STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER WESTMORELAND PARISH. WE SUPPORT THE PRINCIPAL'S EMERGENCY FUND WHICH STEPS IN WHEN STUDENTS ARE FACING DOMESTIC ABUSE, OR FINANCIAL EMERGENCIES. WE PURCHASE FRESH FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND PROTEIN THAT ARE DELIVERED TO THE ACADEMY'S CAFETERIA SO THAT IT CAN PROVIDE FRESH AND HOT FOOD FOR THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD TO PURCHASE LUNCH.
