This serves to introduce to you The Jamaican Ex-Soldiers Association of

South Florida Inc. (JESA), which is a non-profit entity.

JESA was founded in 1995 by ex-service members of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) who saw the need of bringing together ex-service members and ex-civilian employees of the JDF to achieve a common goal.

Our main aims are:

A. To provide for mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment and improvement of all members socially, by encouraging them to participate in constructive and beneficial forms of recreation; to promote friendship; to inculcate a high sense of loyalty amongst members and to stimulate their intellectual advancement.

B. To stage fundraising events in order to raise funds to assist local and Jamaican charitable institutions such as:
1. Curphy Home - A home for destitute ex-service members who served in WW11 (Jamaica)
2. Mona Rehab (Jamaica)
3. Any other individual/institution within the community
