Volunteers of Operation GRACE Extend Care to Staff and Students of Westwood High School

On the morning of Wednesday, February 4, 2026, the extremely cool weather conditions provided quite a contrast to the warm reception which students and volunteers of Operation GRACE received upon their arrival at Westwood High School - located in the cool hills of Trelawny.

The extent of the impact of Hurricane Melissa was immediately evident. Several buildings still bore the scars of an unwelcome visitor which had left destruction as its defining footprint. The school auditorium was completely destroyed and the roofs of several classrooms were severely damaged with tarpaulins used as a canopy to shelter from the elements, clearly highlighting the toll of the hurricane on the institution's physical infrastructure. The staff and principal were warm, receptive and deeply grateful for the visit. The recipients of the care packages were appreciative, though it was evident that not all students were in high spirits.

The emotional impact of the hurricane on members of the school community was noticeable, underscoring the ongoing challenges they continue to face. There was however an unmistakable sense of hope amidst all of this which echoed the call to continue to press forward and rebuild.

During the trip, the NGH students were treated to a guided tour of the school campus by two Westwood High students and were also invited to observe and participate in a Mathematics session. The session, led by a vibrant and engaging Mathematics teacher, featured creative student presentations and allowed for meaningful interaction between students from both schools.

The visit provided valuable insight into the extent of the school’s damage while reaffirming that our presence and support served as encouragement and hope during a difficult period for the school community.
Care packages valued at least J$11,500.00 each were handed out to selected students and staff members whose families were severely impacted during the passing of Hurricane Melissa.

Operation GRACE is a holistic outreach to victims of Hurricane Melissa and is conducted by the NYFDF. The primary donors of Operation GRACE are: Elijah Centre (Trinidad and Tobago), NorthGate College (Trinidad and Tobago), NorthGate High School (Jamaica) and Pocket Angels CIC (United Kingdom).
