Oh, Little Town of Bluefields
This is a guest post from one of our travelers, Cali B. When I got back from my first Jamaica trip in 2015, I spoke often of Bluefields and people would always ask me, “What is it about this little town that you love so much?!” I guess through pictures and my stories it just […]

Jah Work…is Never Done
As I look back at past posts, I realize there’s a lot of “work” related posts. Fundraisers, events and more. The team’s been busy and focused on trying to fund this trip and we haven’t had much time for anything else, especially reflection. With our trip less than 90 days away, it now seems time […]
