Bob Marley Foundation gives Scholarships to eight
The Robert Marley Foundation is proud to have contributed over JA$1 million to assist families with their children's back to school expenses for the new school year commencing September 2005.
The Foundation awarded Scholarships to eight (8) graduate students of Bob Marley's former school, Stepney Primary and Junior High, for their continued education. Other grants were made for school fees, books, and uniforms for several children of Trench Town, Majestic Gardens and other inner city communities. Children of the staff members of the Bob Marley Group of Companies also received assistance with cash grants as well as school books issued through the Foundation's Book Club.
The Robert Marley Foundation is dedicated to perpetuate the spiritual, cultural, social and musical ideals and goals that guided and inspired the Honourable Robert Nesta Marley, O.M. during his lifetime.
