Hi. I hope it's ok to post this. So here goes. I'm a little bit involved with a non-profit organization called One Love Brigade. A guy named Jon and some other guys from Minneapolis were sitting by us on a flight to Jamaica, and we over heard them talking about what they do. They have been organizing bringing bicycles down to Negril for a couple years, and donating them to children, and other folks in need of some simple transportation. Hey, just think....getting to school or work a little bit faster than walking?!?! These folks also donate time, materials and labor to help build additions onto schools, or whatever other "needs". Right now, they are filling a huge shipping container {you know those ones you see on the BIG ships} to be trucked to go from Minneapolis to Mobile, Alabama then onto a BIG ship to Kingston, then onto a semi-truck from Kingston to Negril. The trucking from Mpls. to Alabama fell through, and they are desparately trying to secure another trucking company to do this. It costs $7,000 to make this happen {the whole process}. If you go FB page ONE LOVE BRIGADE you will find out more information. Click on the pictures of last year's children's smiling faces. yamon' . They have a go fund me link. I donated. I will be helping unload the bicycles, wheel chairs, pet kennels etc. in Negril in early December. It's a bummer that the initial trucking fell through, but that's just temporary. But, hey the way time flies, early December is just around the corner. So , yeah thanks for reading this, and if you donate $20 or whatever you choose {go ahead, be generous, you can't take it with you}. It will make you feel good, knowing you donated to a very good and unique cause. One love. Respect. Todd & Deb
