Children



One of the highlights of our visit so far has been the interaction with the children of Jamaica. Often respectful, sometimes violent with each other, but always hungry for attention, quite a number of these dear ones have become close to the team over the week.
At left, the children at the primary school beside the Citadel pose with Bob beside their newly-renovated latrine. At right, Ben shares a moment with some of the schoolchildren. Ben demonstrated outstanding patience during the field day as he engaged twenty children at a time for half an hour with a parachute. For many of these children, it was a stretch on their attention span...! Below, Keith accompanies some of the school children up the hill from the public school. A number of these children asked for Keith's mailing address, and friendly messages were even written to him on the dust covering the Salvation Army van.

  1. Beautiful pictures. It is nice to see all the happy faces. Thank-you for keeping us all up to date this week. I am sure I speak for all the wives; we are very proud of what you have accomplished this week and are looking forward to our husbands coming home tomorrow.
