Are you ready to learn about 3 little known schools where volunteers to Jamaica are making a difference?
If you said ‘yes,’ then let me tell you about them.
Yallahs Primary School
This is an amazing school where boys and girls between the ages of 6-12 attend. Because the school is located outside of the city, volunteers will experience ‘country life.’ Students attending this school are mainly children of small farmers and this give volunteers the opportunity to meet students that are outside the city.
Mount Salus Basic
Mount Salus Basic School is located in the village of Manning’s Hill just about 35 minutes outside of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. This school falls under the umbrella of the United Church of Grand Cayman
Here’s an opportunity to feel the love of the little ones while mixing and mingling with parents and teachers as they work with you.
