ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — In a moving homecoming filled with gratitude, reflection and hope, Pamella’s Sunrise Foundation donated $100,000 to Friendship Primary School to support a school feeding programme during the school’s graduation ceremony, reaffirming its commitment to investing in children through education, psychosocial support and community transformation.

Presenting the donation, Denise Johnston, founder of Pamella’s Sunrise Foundation, described the occasion as deeply nostalgic, recalling that 42 years ago, she sat in the very same graduation ceremony as a member of the Class of 1984, proudly receiving several prizes and awards as one of the school’s most outstanding graduates.

“Returning to Friendship Primary School is more than coming home; it is returning to the place where hope first took root in my life,” Johnston said. “This school laid the foundation for my life and taught me that education is the poor man’s inheritance because it has the power to change generations.”
