🎓🎶"Conducting the graduating class of 42 students from the Abilities Foundation in Jamaica, I witnessed their incredible energy as they sang and signed in Jamaican Sign Language, undeterred by the storming rain. From the spirited drumming at the start to the brave performances, these moments highlighted months of dedication. As a Project Support Officer and music teacher, I’m proud of the journey we've shared." Edith Chan.

Most don’t have phones, 📱 and that means no advanced warnings ⚠️ or time to prepare for catastrophic weather events that could wipe out entire livelihoods in an instant. 🔗Cuso International is committed to supporting these women.
