Caribbean Flavours and Fragrances (CFF) recently hosted a treat for students at End Time Basic School, underscoring the company’s commitment to uplifting young learners and fostering a brighter future for Jamaican youth. As part of its ongoing support, CFF has adopted End Time Basic School, marking the sixth year of involvement with the institution.

Janice Lee, general manager at CFF, expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative and its impact on the students. “The event was a true celebration of joy and laughter as the vibrant students from End Time Basic School delighted in the treats and activities we organised. It fills us with immense joy to continue supporting initiatives like this, where our children are not only rewarded but also deeply motivated to excel. Such experiences are pivotal in nurturing their aspirations and driving them towards a path of achievement. It’s crucial to us that our children feel valued. By offering enriching experiences like this, we aim to inspire them to strive for success and reach their fullest potential.”

The event featured an array of engaging activities, including an inflatable house (bounce house) and face painting done by members of the CFF team. The day was further enriched with educational gifts such as books, pencils, and sharpeners. Additionally, the children enjoyed delicious snacks, including donuts, cookies, and hot dogs, as well as CFF’s blue lemonade.

Mink Tulloch Paige, principal of End Time Basic School, expressed her gratitude to the CFF team for their contribution to the students’ development. “Having CFF step in to support our school once again, especially considering our financial constraints, has been tremendously impactful. The students’ excitement is noticeable as they interact with new faces and enjoy treats and essential supplies like books and pencils. It’s a privilege to be chosen for such support during challenging times, and we deeply appreciate CFF’s commitment to making a meaningful difference here at End Time Basic School.”

In addition to the recent treat day, CFF has previously supported the school through back-to-school initiatives, sports days, Christmas treats, graduation ceremonies, and parent mentorship programmes.
