of a special T-Shirt by German clothing line YARD®. Funds from the sale of the shirts will go to supporting the Trench Town Reading Center (TTRC). The money received helps to employ teachers as well as new books for literacy programs.So far the line has made an initial donation of 3.000 EUR (more than 4.000 US$) to the TTRC. In the future, YARD® has pledged to help fundraise within Europe and the United States to build more Reading Centers in other inner city ghetto areas in Kingston and therefore YARD® supports the registered non-profit association HELP Jamaica! (Help Establish Library Projects in Jamaica!) www.helpjamaica.org
The YARD® style is known for its uniquely Caribbean and Dancehall flavour and is dedicated to the region and its people.
About TTRC
The TTRC is a community-based initiative founded in 1993 on lower First Street in Trench Town, Kingston. The Centre provides not only a library, but also a space for learning and improving basic literacy skills and also facilitates a variety of educational, vocational and community programs. Each day, between 30-50 children visit the TTRC to read, to practice their spelling, to get help with their homework, to draw pictures and to simply be creative.
YARD® has been proudly supporting the center for the last six months.
