Debbie- You are a sweetheart and if it wasn't for you we would have never known about or made the trip. Also, sorry we missed you as I didn't have wifi at BCC and received your message at the airport. I was also made aware from several cabbies that this isn't the only cause that you volunteer for and that you are quite active with the community and for that I have the utmost respect. Thank you.....
For all of you who have made the nice comments, thank you and I know if you are touched by this that you are just as caring. Keep in mind that there were roughly 30 other folks who worked there tails off, some for all 3 days. I could hang out with these folks all day long. And Manda I agree, there are all sorts of ways one can volunteer there time. I'm sure Rob and Lisa can give you some ideas if you hit them up. One I have read about and would like to do is volunteering at the kitchen that feeds some of the less fortunate. And if the time is not there to donate a little money will go a long way.
Sandie's nickname Quickdraw was given to her for her ability to slap a muzzle on from behind in record time. It is cool to watch her sneak up and with a quick motion the dog is muzzled before they saw it coming. Great way to keep all 10 fingers......
Very good report! Thanks for sharing.

I also want to thank StuckintheUSA for your help with the clinic. If it was not for men like you we would not be able to run these clinics...TRANSPORT....
I am sure you hear that in your sleep for a few days after the clinic. Your help moving the animals from one place to another is very much appreciated. I do hope you read this.

What do you know about kids with disabilities in Negril (or other parts of Jamaica)? I work with children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (like autism) and would love to assist if I can (I'm thinking communication training, working with families to address particular behavior problems, etc.). Although I don't have a trip scheduled any time soon (boo) I'm curious about what I can do in the future.Volunteering in Negril...there is just so much to help with...
