I will actually be in Negril the same time as you 3/19 - 3/26.

Cool man...maybe we will see you around!

Where's this year donation going to be ? So thoughtful of you!

Not sure yet...I work with some girls at the resort and they do a good job finding out who is in need. I guess that is why we really have not been to a Negril school as they probably get more help than some of the farther communities.

That is great Face Down! About 10 years ago my daughter ,for a community service project, collected school supplies .
She had put donation boxes around our town and collected a unbelievable amounts of supplies and money for a school in Clarendon
where one of our farm workers children went to school. My wife and I were real nervous about what we were bringing and how to procede with
customs. The ministry of education on their website had a process of how to get through without taxing. We needed a letter from a teacher explaining
the items needed . We proceded to the line where you need to declare items. After a few calls to Kingston they went through all the bags and boxes. (over 15)
The inspectors picked a few items out and asked if they could have some items for their children and let us procede.
The school principle had all the kids come into the school yard and sang a thank you to my daughter,have it on video somewhere.
She used this when applying to colleges and got acceptances for every college shr applied to .It took my rental car and a PU truck to drive the supplies
to the school. The school received so much that they shared with other schools in the area. She had also collected a little over $3000 in cash
that we used to buy paper and other heavy items in Jamaica . It was worth the time we spent and was quite the site to see my daughter in the
middle of 100 plus students !
