Students at the FEPE orphanage and EFE school
combine with SO.V.EH (the Societé Verte Haiti)
to sweep streets, recycle plastics and to make
art-pieces from tinfoil wrappers. The moral commitment,
the creativity, the resourcefulness!
EFE (Ecole Foyer Espoir) students in the Delmas district of Port-au-Prince recycle JAMBAR wrappers into art-work.
JAMBARs provide both nutrition AND

The new 'Organic Artisan Energy Bar
has come to support 19 Partners in less
than two years!
Jennifer Maxwell, nutritionist, co-founder of Power Bar with her late husband Brian, and mother of six children, brought JAMBAR--a new 'Organic Artisan Energy Bar'--to the world in four flavors, Autumn of 2021. One of Jennifer's and JAMBAR's first acts of Partnership was donation of more than 1400 Bars for students' nutrition in Port-au-Prince and Cayes Jacmel, Haiti. These three Schools and one Orphanage continue to benefit from JAMBARs' boost!
See profiles of Jennifer and JAMBAR in San Francisco Magazine and East Bay Magazine and Food Navigator and Local News Matters.
JAMBAR already has won multiple Awards for its Bars'
taste and boost. "Delicious AND nutritrious," says the great American composer and musician David Amram.
Julia Maxwell, Jennifer's daughter, was a champion runner in High School and at Stanford
University. Julia is principal designer of JAMBAR's fonts and musical characters and all-round packaging. Jackie Joyner-Kersee, World Record-holder for the Heptathlon (1988) and U.S. Record-holder for the Long Jump (1994), was named by both Sports Illustrated and her Track & Field peers the 'Greatest Woman Athlete of the 20th Century'. Her record as an athlete is of huge performances over more than 12 years. Jackie continues to lead a 37-acre Center for young people in her hometown of East St. Louis, Illinois.
JAMBAR now funds or otherwise supports 19 Partners in Music and Music-
Education and Active Living. Check them out through the OUR PURPOSE tab.
On May 11, 2023 the Collegiate Running Association (13,000+ members strong)
and JAMBAR announced their Partnership. The CRA pioneered Prize-Money for
collegiate distance-runners 10 years ago. Now JAMBAR will supply Bars to competitors
at all National CRA Championships--Cross-Country, Road, and Trail.
Since December 2021, JAMBAR has donated more than 3000 Bars to students at the three Scols and one Orphanage in Haiti that are Partners with Sticking Up For Children.
JAMBARS are such welcome and essential nutrition that students at College Canapé-Vert in Port-au-Prince SING about them. Hear the song "JAMBAR. JAMBAR, IT MAKES YOU STRONG" with a CLICK below. 8-year-olds are the voices to lyrics by the awards-winning educator Madame Marie-Marthe Balin Franck Paul.

Nothing can stop the Power of Good.
Think about it. " 'Good over Evil / Good over Evil / ...' "
The Power of Good is intrinsically of unending ripples and ever broader effects and ever deeper affects.
Effects of people on things such as Banks. Affects from from person to person.
Nothing can stop capacities of the Power of Good to produce positive change so long we keep It--the Power of Good through Love among and between us--going!
'Mankind's history has shown from one era to another that the true criterion of leadership is spiritual.'--Malcolm Little / Malcolm X / El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
