... interest). Following my meeting with the Executive Director, I was provided with a tour and was introduced to a group of 20 of the agency's children during their dinnertime. Most ranged in ages between 3 and 10. Staring out above their plates, some waved, some loudly pronouncing greetings, while others hung back shy.

... it more or less is) and had another nominal bag check. (By nominal, I mean they looked in, saw either nothing or the computer - something we'd been told Jamaican customs would be interested in - and said "that's fine".
