Jamaica sports development
by: Scott Keller - United StatesProgram: Sports Development Volunteering in Jamaica with IVHQThis program was more satisfying than I ever thought possible. The children are so willing to learn. They are in dire need to be thought and shown how to work as a team and feel wanted. I highly recommend IVHQ Jamaica for those looking for a need to give your time and knowledge
