Working with Children in Jamaica

In this program, you will learn about developmental issues in the capital city of Jamaica. Some of these challenges are getting an education, lack of infrastructure in the development of sports, and how this is related to the well-being of our youth. Live in a local community and sample authentic Jamaican food while experiencing the culture. Get to know the children and families from your neighborhood by doing community service in their schools, helping to lead educational initiatives in a local summer camp, and spending time working with a school community to engage them in more sustainable practices. After community service, you can explore Jamaica’s landscapes and do outdoor activities like visiting Dunn’s River Falls, the Bob Marley museum, and exploring the historical sites of Kingston.

I found this experience to be very rewarding. However, I feel like a bigger impact could've been made at the school if we had known what supplies the students needed. We could have done more to bring notebooks, pencils, paper etc.. I also felt that more information about proper school etiquette should have been communicated ahead of time. I was very pleased with all the wonderful food served and our accommodations were great. During the farming day if felt that an opportunity was lost to explain the grave economic situation of the farmers. Crops were not explained and many students were not clear why they were doing certain activities. When a teaching moment is presented, it should be taken advantage. I also think that more time at the school would have been great. The day trip to Montego bay was great but the travel time was too long. -Advisor
