Thank you so much to everyone who came out to Hop and Sting today to support us. Without people like you, we wouldn’t be able to change lives in Jamaica! We had so much fun getting to know so many new faces and hugging so many friends. Until next year Hop and Sting!🇯🇲🍻🤍

4 DAYS AWAY!
This scholar is VERY special to us. Orane was one of the first two scholars we started with in 2014. Throughout the years he has worked so hard to make it to where he is today. He is helping mold the future of Jamaica as a school counselor. If anyone understands what these students are going through it is Orane. His love for God and love for his country is endless. We are grateful to have had Orane in our program but even more grateful for what he is going to accomplish!

Come learn more about Orane at Hop and Stong Brewery on November 9th!
