Jamaica was my very first missions trip. I went with Shayna and Chad for one week and we had an amazing and eye opening experience. The water was beautiful and we went to ocho rios and climbed the waterfal too-it was so beautiful! We also witnessed poverty and need in ways that we had never seen before. We were able to minister God's love to people but honestly I think we all took away much more from this experience than we could ever give!

... but then as I was planning it, I thought to take it a step further. I did not want the students to just pet animals but also to learn about animal abuse, which animals make good pets and the proper upkeep of their pets hence the name Educational Zoo. I contacted Jamaica's SPCA and Serenity Park asking them to bring some of their animals to the school and talk to the students about the above mentioned topics. They agreed and on the day of ...

I got a ride from the airport to the upper town. After check in, I ventured in the city and was soon offered some "stuff". Oh well, no thank you. The Bob Marley museum is quite interesting and probably the only notable attraction in Kingston (other than this feeling of being in a different country).

... At the end of the dissertation, recommendations will be made for transitional services in the country, and specifically, for the youth aging out of the DTC facility. To know that this study will directly impact teens I know is an intensely motivating factor. As one agency worker said, this will not be a report that "gathers dust on a shelf. This will be a building block for the system to be changed." According to leading researchers in the field, it is one of the ...

... and the dishes were ready to be washed, I was delegated as a "guest" and sent to the living room with the men to watch the Portmore soccer team battle the Spanish Town players. An hour later, I was on a bus, crossing into Kingston, stuffed and smiling at the conjured memories of Anderson, Farrell and Somple family gatherings back at home. Such an evening (along with all of the above experiences) has made me feel very lucky to be here.

Dear Friends and Family: Life post-Gustav has been eventful. As many of you already know, power and water came back on August 29th. By the 30th, we lost water again for another three days. Though Gustav never became a hurricane, the torrential rains and winds of the tropical storm hit the island very hard. Several rooms in our house (including my bedroom) were flooded and we spent the waking hours, mopping up and wringing out towels in our home and later, in ...

... Selassie as the second coming of God, or "Jah". True Rastafarians follow a strict Ital diet, smoke ganja or "herb" as a religious sacrament, wear dreadlocks and a tam (usually in the Rastafarian colours of red, green and yellow - the colours of the Ethiopian flag), believe in having many children (Bob had 12) and oppose surgery or invasion of the body of any kind. It was this aversion to surgery that may have contributed to Bob's untimely death. His ...

Jerusalem was our destination today. This Mustard Seed location was located on the other side of Kingston. Our project: reorganize giant warehouse. Our efforts did not go unnoticed in the least as we were rewarded with heaps of mangoes, YES. After the lifting and moving, we played with the kids who lived there.
