Current Projects

Global Buddies Program

Currently, Direct Abundance has four schools in Jamaica that are partnered with schools here in the United States through our Sister School program.  We work with these schools to help the children of the schools in Jamaica and the U.S. establish relationships with each other which will be beneficial to everyone.  By learning about each other and sharing their lives, these children will come to better understand and empathize with people from all walks of life and all cultures.  We also help to supply the classrooms in Jamaica with much-needed school supplies through our donation drives.  Just this week, we received a huge donation of supplies from Hilroy, Canada, a Canadian office supply company.  Thank you, Hilroy.

We are currently expanding our Sister School program to continue work with a school in Belize and are initiating Sister School programs in Haiti, with plans to begin a program in the Dominican Republic!

Mission Trip

Direct Abundance is leading a Mission trip to the Windsor community of Jamaica from  August 19 – August 25, 2012.  We will continuing on the build of the classroom at the Windsor Early Childhood Care and Development Center and we will also be building a chicken farm there to provide the community with a sustainable income and food.  We still have a few openings for this trip — contact us if you would like to come with us and change a life!

Direct Abundance will be sponsoring several Mission Trips to Jamaica each year.  We will be building schools, chicken farms, community centers and planting gardens.  There will be opportunities for teaching and ministering to these wonderful people.  Please consider joining us on one of our upcoming trips.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Teacher Subsidy                                                                                                                                                                          

Ms. Evans, the teacher we are sponsoring

Direct Abundance has recently taken on the huge challenge and blessing of paying the monthly salary for a teacher at the Windsor Early Childhood Care and Development Center in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica.  This school is already short of teachers and was going to have to lay off a teacher due to a lack of funding.  The cost of this teacher’s salary is $130 a month — almost unbelievable, right?  We felt that we could not let this teacher be laid off for such a small investment, so we at Direct Abundance took a leap of faith and committed to paying her salary.  If you would like to make a monthly or one-time pledge toward this salary, we would appreciate it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       High School Tuition              Direct Abundance has paid the tuition for Miss Watson to return to school to receive her High School Diploma.  We hope to be able to expand this program and help may other young people further their education!
