The first 24 hours in Jamaica have been nothing but authentic Jamaican experiences that our group has enjoyed and learned to appreciate. After arriving last night, applying generous amounts of bug spray, and arduously setting up our complicated bug nets we spent time with the multiple church groups who are also staying at the Nutshell with us. Our time of worship left us all ready for our week. Tired from the long day, our group embraced the cold showers and our bunkbeds. I would say that there was no way anything would wake us up after the day we had yesterday, but then we experienced our first Jamaican rain storm. Thankfully our group enjoyed the roaring thunder, colorful lightning, and buckets of water at 2AM. After the storm calmed down we enjoyed a restful sleep. After a quick breakfast we were off to our first activity for the day: 1st graders at Rollins Primary School. We had the opportunity to take over two 1st grade classrooms at a local public school. We were thankful for the few teammates who brought coloring books, games, and lesson plans. We finished our time with the students playing games in the field. Memorable moment: Wes was tackled by approximately 30 children. The afternoon was spent at Trelawney Infirmary. This is the equivalent of a senior level facility in the US. The resources at the Infirmary make senior living facilities in the US look like 5-star resorts. Our team enjoyed the conversations we had and the people we met. We are now just arriving back to the Nutshell, tired and reflective of our day.
