About Us
Out of a compelling vision based on her own experiences in Jamaica, POGS founder Joy Dufour (who resides in Maryland, USA), brought a group of like-minded individuals together to discuss the matter. United in their commitment to help the sick and the poor in Jamaica, seeds of ideas on how to accomplish this began to germinate. On July 28, 2013, Partners of Good Shepherd Jamaica was born and its first annual fundraiser was held both to solicit contributions, as well as to heighten awareness in the public domain.Today POGS is growing in the number of members and volunteers, and presents an exciting opportunity for others to contribute in various ways towards a transformational goal.
