Kaysilyn & Sebastian Wedding and the Rockhouse Foundation
Dear Family and Friends,

Liebe Familie und Freunde!

As we prepare to celebrate our wedding, we are filled with gratitude for the love and support you have shown us throughout our journey together. Your presence in our lives is the greatest gift we could ever ask for, and we are deeply thankful for each and every one of you.

Während wir uns auf unsere Hochzeit vorbereiten, sind wir voller Dankbarkeit für die Liebe und Unterstützung, die wir durch euch erfahren. Eure Anwesenheit in unserem Leben ist das größte Geschenk, um das wir je bitten konnten, und wir sind für jeden einzelnen von euch sehr dankbar.

In lieu of traditional wedding gifts, we have decided to embrace the spirit of giving and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. We have chosen to support the Rockhouse Foundation, an organization that is very close to our hearts. The Rockhouse Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of children in Jamaica through education and community development. They have built and renovated schools, libraries, and child-friendly spaces, creating safe and nurturing environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Anstelle traditioneller Hochzeitsgeschenke haben wir uns entschlossen, den Geist des Gebens zu nutzen und das Leben derer zu verbessern, die es am meisten brauchen. Wir haben uns entschieden, die Rockhouse Foundation zu unterstützen, eine Organisation, die uns sehr am Herzen liegt. Die Rockhouse Foundation hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, das Leben von Kindern in Jamaika durch Bildung und Gemeindeentwicklung zu verbessern. Sie hat Schulen, Bibliotheken und kinderfreundliche Einrichtungen gebaut und renoviert und so eine sichere und förderliche Umgebung geschaffen, in der Kinder lernen, wachsen und gedeihen können.

We believe that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future, and by supporting the Rockhouse Foundation, we can help provide opportunities for countless children to achieve their dreams. Your generous donation will go directly towards improving educational facilities, providing resources for teachers and students, and ensuring that every child has the chance to succeed.

Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass Bildung der Schlüssel zu einer besseren Zukunft ist, und durch die Unterstützung der Rockhouse Foundation können wir dazu beitragen, unzähligen Kindern die Möglichkeit zu geben, ihre Träume zu verwirklichen. Ihre großzügige Spende fließt direkt in die Verbesserung von Bildungseinrichtungen, die Bereitstellung von Ressourcen für Lehrer und Schüler und die Gewährleistung, dass jedes Kind die Chance auf Erfolg hat.

If you would like to join us in this cause, please consider making a donation to the Rockhouse Foundation instead of giving a traditional wedding gift. Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a profound impact on the lives of many children and their communities.

Wenn Sie uns bei diesem Vorhaben unterstützen möchten, ziehen Sie bitte in Erwägung, anstelle eines traditionellen Hochzeitsgeschenks eine Spende an die Rockhouse Foundation zu machen. Ihre Spende, egal in welcher Höhe, wird einen großen Einfluss auf das Leben vieler Kinder und ihrer Gemeinden haben.

Your support will be a beautiful way to celebrate our special day and help create a lasting legacy of love and compassion.

Ihre Unterstützung ist eine wunderbare Art und Weise, unseren besonderen Tag zu feiern und dabei zu helfen, ein dauerhaftes Vermächtnis der Liebe und des Mitgefühls zu schaffen.

Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of our lives. We are excited to share this special moment with you and to make a positive difference together.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Großzügigkeit und dafür, dass Sie ein Teil unseres Lebens sind. Wir freuen uns, diesen besonderen Moment mit Ihnen zu teilen und gemeinsam etwas Positives zu bewirken.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Alles Liebe

Help Mary Ellen Build a Primary School in Jamaica
While traveling one summer in Negril, Jamaica, I became captivated by the remarkable work of the Rockhouse Foundation, particularly the development of SAV Inclusive primary school. Sav Inclusive is a one-of-a-kind public school serving children with and without disabilities side-by-side in a full-inclusion setting. As an educator who has dedicated my life to furthering inclusive, progressive education for students with disabilities, I was deeply impressed by the Rockhouse Foundation’s mission.

I am asking you to please join me in supporting inclusive education for students in Jamaica by donating to the Rockhouse Foundation Building Campaign for SAV Inclusive school. Your donation will support the continued expansion of the primary school campus through grade six and the creation of inclusive play spaces for the children.

Thank you for your support,

Mary Ellen

Teach Di Yutes 2021-2022 Campaign
The Rockhouse Foundation's "Teach Di Yutes" Campaign for 2021-22 is targeting raising $500,000 for our 2022 projects and programs including the expansion of the Sav Inclusive School; building 3rd and 4th grade classrooms, therapy rooms, a new admin building and infrastructure.

The Sav Inclusive School, built from the ground up by the Rockhouse Foundation, is created for typical learners and those with disabilities, learning side-by-side in a full inclusion setting. The school currently educates 165 students from pre-K to 2nd grade. The Rockhouse Foundation signed a new commitment with Jamaica's Ministry of Eduction to enlarge the school through 12th grade. Each year for the next decade the Foundation will be adding a new grade so the current 2nd graders have a path right through high school. The understanding also includes additional adjoining lands allocated from the Catholic Church for construction of the expanded primary and high schools.

Since 2004 Rockhouse Foundation has invested over US$6.5 million in projects improving education for pre-K and Primary school children in western Jamaica. The Foundation has fully modernized and expanded six local schools and the Negril Community Library.

When Jamaica’s borders and schools closed in March 2020, the Foundation immediately pivoted to a major Food Distribution initiative targeting the most vulnerable children and families at each of our four partner schools. Every Friday for over 90 weeks the Rockhouse Foundation has distributed packages of food staples including flour, rice, cooking and powdered milk. The Rockhouse Foundation Food Distribution Initiative is Jamaica’s most enduring and expansive with over 250 tons of food staples having sustained 1000 people weekly.

This gofundme page documents our end of 2021 and start of 2022 endeavors including the Annual Benefit, Giving Tuesday, Year End Campaign and first quarter of 2022 fund raising, with a goal to raise $500,000 to underwrite our 2022 projects and programs.

All administrative and fundraising costs of the foundation are underwritten by Rockhouse Hotel, Skylark Negril Beach Resort, Miss Lily’s and their owners, so all donations go directly to the projects and programs. The Rockhouse Foundation is an IRS approved New York 501(c)3 and a Jamaican registered charity. The foundation’s work directly impacts the lives of thousands of Negril area children and their families everyday.

With your help, we can create transformative learning opportunities for Jamaican children and their families.
