25 Years Later, PfaP Enhances Postponed Honeymoon

Our story begins when Tim and I got married 25 years ago. We were young and really didn’t have money for a honeymoon, so we postponed it for a while. One year turned into another. Then, we had a baby girl, Katherine and 5 years later another girl, Sydney. Our dream vacation always took a... Continue reading

Michael and Angel Nowak

We recently visited St. Lucia and were able to bring some supplies, books, and soccer balls to a school there with the help of the Sandals Foundation. We spent some time with the 4th graders reading, writing, and singing. They taught us a song as well and when Michael turned it into a disco, they... Continue reading

We donated them to Hastings Elementary School in Trelawny Parish when we visited Jamaica last March. My three kids were very involved and did most of the work. Using... Continue reading

Steve and Lorna Payne’s Story

Little Hands and Big Hearts in Jamaica

In September, my husband and I decided to visit Bluefields Bay, Jamaica to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. It was the first time since our honeymoon that we’d taken a trip alone.

PfaP Delivers in Dominica

  At the end of each month, children at the Grand Fond Primary School in Dominica get very excited. Not because it’s the end of another day at school, but because it marks their shopping day. This is the day when they take their small paper coins they’ve earned for good behavior throughout the week,... Continue reading
