Join us for a ONE NIGHT ONLY performance of JAMAICA,
FAREWELL, a one-woman comedy preceded by a Fundraiser Reception to support
the Caribbean Education Foundation.
The Caribbean Education Foundation has partnered with NAACP award-winning
writer/performer Debra Ehrhardt to bring "Jamaica Farewell"
Play to Boston! All proceeds raised from the performance will benefit
Junior High and High School Scholarship Programs for the Caribbean Education
Foundation.
ABOUT THE PLAY
Jamaica, Farewell is a true story that takes its
audience on a wild roller coaster ride from Jamaica to America! It is
a one woman play based on Debra's true story of her life growing up in
Jamaica and subsequent migration to the United States during a time of
political upheaval in her native country. Ehrhardt plays some 20 characters,
including her parents, siblings and a CIA agent as she recalls fleeing
the turmoil of Kingston, Jamaica.
THIS
IS A COMEDY NOT TO BE MISSED!
The play will be held in the Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center
for the Performing Arts, Virginia Wimberly Theatre in Boston's beautiful
South End -- ONE NIGHT ONLY, on Saturday, November 21, 2009.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. There will be valet parking, plus validated parking
at two nearby garages. Or, by train, take the Orange Line to Back Bay;
Green Line to Arlington.
A Reception will precede the performance with delicious Caribbean Cuisine,
silent auction and a music performance by Live Roots reggae band!
ABOUT CARIBBEAN EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The Caribbean Education Foundation awards scholarships to poor children
who are unable to attend school, because families are unable to afford
school-related costs. Our Scholarships pay for school fees and purchase
text books, school supplies, uniforms, shoes, meals and transportation.
CEF's goal is to give our youth meaningful choices and opportunities and
thereby break the poverty cycle.
CEF is a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, organized exclusively
for charitable and educational purposes. We are dedicated to helping poor
children receive meaningful access to quality education in the Caribbean.
For example, there is no such thing as "free public education"
in Jamaica. Thousands of children in Jamaica are on the streets engaging
in microeconomic enterprises and other activities instead of attending
school. On the surface, it may appear that these small 10 and 11-year
old children do not wish to attend school, but that is farthest from the
truth. Many of the children are brilliant and have passed their exams
to attend high school. However, they are unable to attend because destitute
families cannot afford the cost of books, bus fares, uniforms, shoes,
and other school-related costs.
The Caribbean Education Foundation awarded scholarships in April 2008
to several needy students, who as a result, were able to attend school
in Jamaica. We hope to aid many more school children in the upcoming year.
