Community Vision: Building & Renovation Project

Build relationships, instill hope, and foster community development in the heart of rural Jamaica. Your home base will be in the farming community of Walderston. When you arrive, the first things that will catch your eyes are miles upon endless rows of crops. The natural terrain will be clearly visible with its scattered farms and lush jungles. You will be blanketed by the warm sunshine and breeze from the mountains that will have you pinching yourself and wondering if this green oasis could be real! Community development will be the focal point as you assist in building and renovation initiatives that will help bring stability and sustainability to the warm, welcoming local people in the village.

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
