with the repair of the swing, the children were delighted to play on it. the swing is in much demand these days and it presents an opportunity for the children to learn to care and share with each other.
currently, there are around 80 children to three swings, one hop-scotch and 4 tires to play with. your donation will not only contribute to the children’s need for play but also their worthiness.
UPDATE: a new seesaw 👉🏾was constructed and scheduled to be installed before the beginning of the school year 2024-2025

swing repair 2023
repairing the swings at the basic school.
clean up the frame
replace the 3 rotten seat
add protective flooring
raised: $371.36USD
currently the children only have tires wedged into concrete and hopscotch to play with. there are around 60 children to one hop-scotch and 4 tires. there was a seesaw that recently broke due to over use. the children don’t complain about the limited play options. from time to time they’d ask me if i am still going to fix their swing. if we are lucky we can have it fixed before school goes out in June. your donation will not only contribute to the children’s need for play but also their worthiness.

grand market treat 2022
giving back to the children of the community
this was my first attempt to organize something for the community.
context: grand market, in its first days, was just a time when enslaved Jamaicans could come together and enjoy themselves amidst all the struggles they were facing while being used and oppressed. this video highlights the preparations leading up to and the day of grand market and what happened around the treat.
MANY THANKS TO OUR DONORS
