I am sure, there is a way, if you are sincere,
to help out a school/students in Jamaica.
After spending hours and hours teaching kids to read better, do math better, explaining history and geography,
I can't see the school "not" feeding that person a meal.
Be clean and sober,
respect the principal by showing you are sincere
and willing to work for free (volunteer)
Best 8 hours I have ever spent on the Island.
What I would suggest is to bring school supplies, books,
pay attention and just start helping the little ones.
In every class, you are more than likely to find
a little boy or girl that is not reading/keeping pace with the other students.
Take that kid under your wing and show them a few techniques
to acquire knowledge,
that we all learned in school growing up.
Then your hard work will be appreciated.
That is where the wonderful meal comes from.
Just my 2 cents.
