Michael Folkes showed me that no matter how bad my past was, I have the power to make my life better; and I have. Thank you.

Auditorium Project
The Foundation will build a multi-purpose auditorium at the Mount Waddy Primary School in Friendship, Jamaica. The space will be used for:
- Physical Education - Without a suitable indoor space, students may only enjoy Physical Education (P.E.) when the weather is suitable outdoors. However, the auditorium will provide a fantastic facility suitable for P.E. in all weathers, and is intended to improve the health, fitness and well-being of the school's young people.
- Health Fairs (see Medical Care) - An excellent environment in which to have an approved health care facility to meet the wellness needs of the students and local community.
- Graduations - To celebrate achievement with parents and to inspire younger students to aim high.
- Cultural Activities - A creative space in which to share, demonstrate and celebrate dance, music, theater and art.
