Dear Friends of Jamaica,
As we come together in response to Hurricane Melissa’s impact on our beloved Jamaica, The Midwest Jamaica Corps (MIJAC) wants to update you on recovery efforts and share how you can make a meaningful difference in the days and weeks ahead.
Jamaica is beginning the recovery process following Hurricane Melissa’s passage. While the storm brought significant challenges, I am encouraged by the resilience and determination of the Jamaican people and the swift response from government agencies and international partners.
Recovery operations are underway across the island. Power restoration efforts have begun, emergency shelters are operational, and relief supplies are being distributed to affected communities.
The Jamaican spirit remains unbroken, and with support from the diaspora and international community, we are confident in Jamaica’s path forward.
Prime Minister Holness expressed gratitude for the outpouring of global support and reaffirmed Jamaica’s commitment to rebuilding stronger than before.

This is a major effort to inspire lifelong learning, increase knowledge and awareness of Jamaican culture, as well as strengthen our communities. We plan to achieve this by initiating charitable endeavors, such as annual benefits and other fundraising activities.
