The Foundation in the news
From the launch at Mount Waddy Primary School in 2014 to press coverage in Jamaica.
“Better words cannot be said to describe Michael Folkes. He is a man of great integrity. He is altruistic, an honest and humble human being. One that respects all. It was a moment of joy and celebration at the kick-off of the Melbourne and Michael Folkes Foundation. The students’ faces were lit up with excitement…
On April 14th 2014, something extraordinary and fulfilling started in Friendship, Jamaica. All who were present were reminded that no matter where you are from, no matter who you are, there is no excuse not to make something good of your life and to be the very best at what you do.
We were also reminded that we should keep God at the centre of everything we do and that our characters should be of kindness, truth, sharing and caring.
The day was one that will forever be etched in the minds of all who were present and is highlighted as the first footprint in the sand of a remarkable journey of helping others.”
Bob Marley
