Another great experience was had by all participants of Jeun’Espoir Jamaïque 2007, a Ottawa youth humanitarian aid group that does work in
Kingston, Jamaica since 1995, (please visit our website at www.jeunespoir.org)during the last March break. This year we built 2 houses in the Kingston area: one in Bull Bay for a lady named Starliner whom we had met in previous years when she lived in Trenchtown, doing craft work in the Culture Yard and another on Myrhvilla Rd. in West
Kingston for a young lady named Sue-Anne and her young son.
We also:
- visited the elderly at St. Monica’s Home for the aged on Mandela Highway just past Ferry
- – visited abandoned and abused children at Bromfeld Home of Safety
- – painted a cafeteria at Manning Boys Home in St. Elizabeth Parish, between Junction and Black River
- – made a cement platform for a Medical Clinic in Whitfield town
- – spent a day in Ocho Rios, going to Dunn’s River Falls and shopping at the craft market
Thanks go out to:
- – Sister Grace of the Franciscan Ministries who manages our projects and Sister Celia who takes care of the hostel where we stay at Immaculate Conception Convent on Constant Spring Rd.
- – All the people of the Orleans and Ottawa communities that support us in our fundraising activities, publicity and in any other way.
Sincerely,
André Clermont – Organizer and teacher at Garneau High School in Orleans (613) 749-6027
