She lives by the principles that sharing is caring. Amy Hyatt, commonly referred to as Matron, is the operator of the Doncaster School of Practical Nursing which was started in 1976. Known to communities mainly in East Kingston and St Andrew, Hyatt makes it her duty to feed the less fortunate. "At least twice per week I go into communities like Shooter's Hill and in the Wilmoth area, all in East Kingston, and take things for them like food and also provide assistance to parents for their children to go to school."

Despite her age, this elderly woman is always on the go trying to help those in need in whatever way she can. "Even at my school here I give scholarships for students to attend free of cost. Many of them are doing really well now. There is also a little shed that I made for the policemen, like when they come on duty in the area, they can rest there. You know, the sun can be really hot sometimes and when they come I will supply them with a cool drink of water," she said saintly.

A registered nurse trained in England more than 60 years ago, she worked at the Bellevue Hospital for many years. She was not pleased with the circumstances under which patients were being treated and sought to assist them while carrying out her nursing duties. "Some were starving, I approached administration about it but nothing was done so I borrowed some of the hospital pots and took home to prepare food. And I ensured they would at least get one meal per day. I am glad to say the situation improved when other people came on board," she said.

A staunch Seventh-day Adventist, she encourages women to achieve a certain level of education and independence and not settle for substandard treatment which she says comes from dependency. Through her school and the assistance she gives, Hyatt hopes to continue to make a difference in people's lives.
