Testimonials

What our partners say

The Spanish-Jamaican Foundation has been an excellent partner for Teachers Colleges in Jamaica. The support provided to all our institutions has been superb. Over the years, students involved in the acquisition of Spanish as a Foreign Language have received strong assistance in various ways. Thank you for all you do. We look forward to working with you on upcoming projects and the ones we already have in place.

Teachers Colleges of Jamaica

The Real Madrid Foundation has been working with The Spanish-Jamaican Foundation since 2010, carrying out together social-sports soccer activities in Montego Bay, and creating one of the Real Madrid Foundation’s most valuable programs. Sport is a great educational tool for cooperation. Through sports, children and youth from more vulnerable or at-risk situations, not only have fun playing soccer but receive an integral education, where they learn about respect, team play, equality, and healthy habits. It is not a matter of becoming great soccer players, but a matter of becoming great people. Thanks to The Spanish-Jamaican Foundation and their constant support, these children are building a path to becoming better people.
