Back To School Jamboree!!!

August 11, 2012

Families of All Murder Victims got together for the Back to School Jamboree of a lifetime!  The event was held at R.M. Bailey park.  It gave victim's kids a chance to have fun with kids who are going through a difficult time in life just as they are - to put aside their cares for the day and commune with someone who really does know what you are going through.  Also, people often forget that when a parent is murdered, a child still has needs.  So FOAM set out to ensure that each child who came out had some of the supplies they need for back to school.

Miss La Petite Bahamas, Anthonique Greenslade, gave out Nikki bags to all the kids filled with goodies and supplies.

FOAM President, Khandi Gibson, puts on a school uniform and poses with the kids to encourage them to get excited about school despite the difficulties they face.
