Reuse textbooks can help families that can’t afford to buy them, we do it here in Trinidad.

As a student myself, I understand how it feels to be left behind when you lack essentials such as textbooks, which remain one of the most valid forms of primary data (in my opinion). As a result, I would LOVE to help other families through even the smallest action.

I used to wonder the same in my time and that was around 10 years ago. To know it still happens now is ridiculous for parents and children who especially don't have the funds for these books that continue to raise in cost yearly.

Jamaica and our people deserve better education opportunities as well as a chance to be less wasteful with the education system. Children and young adults are the future of this world, and Jamaicas future matters too. These kids deserve a better way of learning and of living

Because especially after Hurricane Melissa there are students that can’t even afford the textbooks. Heck they can’t even afford lunch. We need to find alternative solutions so that ALL Jamaican kids have access to good quality education.
