CATALYST Works
Providing Unlimited Educational Opportunities
CATALYST makes the news in Jamaican media
. . . The programme helps students in several ways. They help the needy with school fees and train mentors. They also donated several books to the Homework Centre's library on Tower Street. But most of all what the programme seeks to do each year is prepare students for tertiary education and help them find scholarships . . .
. . . Ramone Williams, a fifth former at St. Georges College, is now a student in the programme. He is from Parade Gardens in Kingston where the homework programme operates. He is a straight 'A' student who wants to be a computer engineer. The help from Catalyst is making that dream seem possible . . .

CATALYST Expands - Coming Soon!
The Photography Club
The CATALYST Photography Club was formed with the purpose of providing an extra-curricular activity to some of the students, who are not otherwise involved in their community due to the occasional uprise of crime and violence. The club has grown to be an avenue of expression for most of the students. Having recognized this, CATALYST continues to be strongly involved in the club,e.g. by hosting regular photo competition. As a result, the Photography Club has grown to be a distinguished youth club in the community of Parade Gardens.

Not even the limitations imposed by their disposable cameras could restrain the creativity and enthusiasm of the CATALYST students from the Grace & Staff Homework Centre as they showed off skills learned in a recent photography course. Over a two-month period the 12 teens, who hail mainly from the Central Kingston community of Parade Gardens, were encouraged to use various photographic techniques to record aspects of their daily life.
