Another View of Jamaica....

[Sprat]

No blue, turquoise waters and bright coloured flowers in the background....but we see these people everyday....




Wounded, bandaged and desperate....this man chooses to hang around the ATM everyday for his living.....



Hardwork with a machette and sugarcane is an honest living for many.....



Prayer, belief and the bible is how most folks in JA get by. Give thanks daily and you will reap the benefits and goodness of life....


A mother heads home into the bush with her daughter in tow. Maybe after a hard days work...or play....

[Sprat]

A young precocious boy in PA plays while his mother works in the kitchen all day. He entertains himself and the guests with his bamboo ninja stick.



Many grandmothers raise second generations of familes, as mothers work, and fathers many times, but not always.... are no where to to be found.

A sobering look at Jamaica Sprat, nice job!

Incredible

[Sprat]

The male youth of Jamaica are non-commital in their relationships....




Women work hard to care for their children....against all odds.....



But with bars abound...you never never know what's around the corner when you live in JA...
