If either of you are interested in them, I could mail them to you when next I am in the US (which would probably be easier than mailing them from
Canada?).
VCRs are pretty rare in Jamaica but there are some around. I know of none where I live and that is why I have to either burn a DVD from them or invite friends and neighbors over to watch them. I have found that a lot of Jamaicans around where I live don't like to go into other people's homes and prefer instead to sit on the verandah so that is sometimes a problem.

I will be sending another barrel down before I leave in early October so you can message me here if you want to donate them to the cause. I work with Mystic Bowie (who is my friend and neighbor in Accompong Town) http://www.mysticbowie.com/ and the Mystic Bowie Cultural Center (where a school library has been built) http://www.mysticbowieculturalcenter.com/ . Donation of books and movies will go to educate and inform the Maroon children.
