Welcome to Jeun' Espoir inc.
Jamaica Project
Background : Known as Garneau en Jamaïque at its beginning in 1995, the project operated as a non profit organization called Jeun’Espoir Jamaïque from 2001 until the summer of 2007. It is now called Jeun' Espoir inc. - Jamaica project. This year, there is a new Jamaica project, with students from the Samuel-Genest high school.
Purpose : During the March break, about fifteen teenagers accompanied by a few adults travel to Jamaica in order to lend their assistance in various projects ranging from construction and painting to cleaning and social work.
Results : It is an experience that truly enriches these young people, who return home with a better consciousness of social injustice, ready to get involved in their community, wanting to make a difference.
Financing :All participants take part in various fundraisers to cover theirr expenses and to buy the needed materials such as tools, wood and paint.
Recognition : Jeun’Espoir Jamaïque received an Excellence in community service award from the Jamaican (Ottawa) Community Association (2002) and the Martin Luther King Dreamkeepers Award (2007).
