Jamaica’s Ambassador Lauds Atlanta-based Integrity Children’s Fund

WASHINGTON, DC – Jamaica’s Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency, Major General (Ret’d) Antony Anderson, has lauded the Atlanta-based Integrity Children’s Fund for its contribution to the education and development of at-risk children.

“I am pleased to salute the Integrity Children’s Fund, which, through its effort of giving back, has helped to touch many lives in Jamaica in immeasurable ways,” Ambassador Anderson said.

He gave a strong keynote speech at the Integrity Children’s Fund Gala on June 21. The event took place at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. The theme was “an evening of glamour for education.” It celebrated over 20 years of impact from the diaspora. This work has helped position Jamaica as a leader in education reform and innovation.

Ambassador Anderson praised the Integrity Children’s Fund for its enduring commitment to education. He described it as a case where “conviction meets compassion and action follows intention.”

The Integrity Children’s Fund was founded by a team of visionary Jamaicans led by Major (Ret’d) Karl Chambers. Ambassador Anderson lauded Major Chambers as “a proud son of Excelsior High School” whose leadership reflects “quiet strength and moral clarity.” 

The Fund’s expansion into Clarkston, Georgia—widely known as the “Ellis Island of the South”—illustrates how Jamaican values continue to influence and uplift communities far beyond national borders.
