Duty on donations

[St. Anthony's Kitchen]

-You can call on my cell (1-876-881-1763). Toys are great! Every child should have one--and believe me, many here don't! And, you will be hard pressed to bring repeats on what others have brought! Put that out of your mind! Will look forward to hearing from you--and meeting you too! --Fr. jim

The more I read this thread, the more my heart swells...."No one has ever become poor by giving". When I think about the abundance my children had when they were growing up and how so often we take the little things (like new school shoes) for granted, I can't help but feel compelled to contribute to the children of Jamaica. We have always brought school supplies, meds, toiletries, etc for the staff at the resort to take home to their families. Everything is bagged based on gender and age for easy distribution. And the best part? Meeting the staff and vendors, finding out about their families and lives and seeing the smiles on their faces when I return with a package for their family. Father Jim, it sounds like you are doing an incredible job. We will be back to Jamaica in November and I would really love to volunteer at the kitchen for a morning. Do I just come on over? I would be willing to do any job.....I can scrub a "mean" pot

My cell is 1.876.881.1763. I might have already sent this to you but I don't see it. This stuff is all sort of new to me. I'm not sure if I sending things tot he right place. Hope you get this! As a kid I was always told practice makes perfect. --Fr. Jim

Greetings, another place to donate is Calvary Baptist Church in Sav La Mar. The pastor's name is Ricardo Cooper. He is a man of integrity and shares what he has with the community. Our church partnered with him for the last 4 years, and I have brought money, school supplies, toiletries. I've brought something different each year, and will do the same when I return in November. Pastor Cooper will pick the items up from wherever you are. He can be reached at (876)891-0488 or delrico2@yahoo.co.uk, just tell him I gave his number. Any donations will be appreciated.

Regards,

Pastor Jeffrey A. Williams
Greensboro, NC

We have been working our bag full force, bought some sneakers of various sizes, flip flops and other shoes for the kids over the weekend. Fr Jim mentioned black shoes for the kids for school. I did a few GIS's, on jamaican school uniforms, could not come up with a definitive answer on what type. Do the kids wear dressier or more casual shoes with their uniforms?

I would say casual shoes. I see many walking, the boys have on casual tennis shoes and the girls have on flats.
