Time in Jamaica
January 11, 2020by: William Turk - United StatesProgram: Working with Children in Jamaica
My time spent in Jamaica was a very action pact and memorable experience. With an innumerable amount of activities to fulfil accompanied by loving children this for sure won't be a moment I forget during my life time.
Once in a lifetime trip! Awesome!

I am glad I went on the trip. I would do something like it again. The kids were friendly and it felt like we were making a difference. The food was awesome. It was cool to explore another culture. Everything was so laid back. The housing was good for the most part.
It was great

I think that the way the program was done also had an effect on us. We got to be immersed in Jamaican culture and learn about how they live. We got to have fun while also helping people and that was very powerful to me. This was the first service experience that i enjoyed. I think the program was done very well.
