Let me be honest with you all this isn't about any great adventure i've had or even will had but perhaps may very well have a trip to the desert land of senegal. You see dear reader i'm embarking on a literary adventure regarding the land & people of Senegal with a book titled " Walls of Jericho" a narrative of the perilous journey of a group of ...

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!

... Educational Zoo the organizations brought with them puppies, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and a snake. The principal allowed me to make a full day of the event. We broke the students up by grades first and second grade went in the morning, third and fourth after lunch and fifth and sixth at the end of the school day. For a small price (this was still a fundraiser) the students heard from the speakers, petted the animals and for an ...

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).

... five priorities in the country today for orphans with HIV/AIDS and one that must be looked at now. Thus far, I've felt honored to be interviewing individuals in the field, HIV activists, directors at the Ministry of Health, and executive directors at US-based agencies. The most important figures in the study (the kids!), though, have not been interviewed yet. I am most excited to interview them, to hear what they have to say; to listen to their dreams, fears ...

Going through high school and university, I never would've been mistaken for a nerd (as far as I know - ;)). I was a soccer player, a long-distance runner, and a decent (mid to above average) student. Immediately after sending my last updates (full of day trips to Cable Hut Beach and Boston Bay, service placement visits, and current affairs), a family friend inquired, teasingly, if I was attending any classes. ;) I guess I forgot to mention my newly gained title ...

... flats. Following the winds, the rain fell for nearly 24 hours straight. In the end, $3B worth of damage occurred and ten Jamaicans lost their lives in the storm. When the storm was over, the people in the neighborhood pulled the pieces of plywood off of their windows, called in for power lines to be reconnected, and opened up their homes for the sunshine to pour into and to dry their floors and walls. On Saturday, Karen and I asked our host mom if we could ...

... is believe to have started in his big toe, the result of a soccer injury. The doctor wanted to amputate his toe to stave off the infection, but Bob would have none of it. The Bob Marley Museum is decorated with memorabilia from Bob's life. Walls are plastered with his gold, platinum and diamond records, album covers, newspaper articles and magazine covers, such as Rolling Stone and Soul. He has received numerous awards, including being inducted in ...

For this week, we lived and worked in the Mustard Seed Communittees within Kingston. But before I continue here's a smidgen of history: (Do not quote me, as this story came to being via word of mouth) The tale begins... years ago, Father Gregory, a graduate of BC school of social work, rescued a young abandoned child from the streets near his home. After this story spread, neighbors began bringing abandoned ...
