'Ah lo' -----
Today the campers read stories about Jamaican heroes in Jamaican history. Most of their heroes were politicians who have impacted Jamaican culture. The AOC Director questioned the campers after each presentation about the information given. We judged and cheered each presentation.
Today was also USA Sports Day where groups of campers formed teams to compete in kickball. Many of the campers have never played kickball before but they caught on very quickly. We also played frisbee, net ball, and soccer. Water balloon toss was also a fun activity for the smaller campers. Most of the campers have not participated in these games before. It was very rewarding to see and hear them play.
One of the local farmers brought a truck full of watermelons for anyone to purchase (very cheap price). It was very fresh and sweet. Since mangos, bananas, and coconuts grow everywhere on the island, we have these fresh fruits available almost every day with our host families or at camp.
We are most impressed with the children and the staff. Their warmth and generosity have been amazing. They have welcomed us with open arms!
Yah man,
