Jamaica Sandals Foundation Labour Day Project
Myself and the other travel agents I travelled with swapped our luxury apartments and in my case my butler to volunteer and support the Sandals Foundation Labour Day Project in Whitehouse, Jamaica.
The foundation is making every effort this year to work with Jamaican schools in improving the learning environments for the children. We worked on some much-needed improvements on Bluefield Bay Kindergarten & School. (The children and teachers helped too)
Taking time out of our stay really made a difference. The Labour Day activities were not just about structural upgrades with painting, shaded areas and replacement of rotten windows, but to also encourage others to make positive changes to the places we take our holidays.
It was a great time we spent there and 6 years on I am still in touch with the head mistress!
