May 26-June 5, 2010 (tentative dates)
This is a two-week immersion trip into Jamaica, West Indies. We will live and work in Kingston with the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany and partner with local communities in constructing a basic 12 x 12 house.
We will also spend time visiting schools, orphanages, elder care facilities and engaging in development projects. When we are not working, we bring in a variety of speakers to educate students on the reality of life in Jamaica and take a few days to relax and explore some of the Jamaican coastline. The language spoken in Jamaica is English.
