Today began our service here in Jamaica. Four teams headed out to help with projects around the area. One team headed to Salem Primary School, one to Carmel Primary School, another to Bog Basic School, and the third to Miss Helen's house, a local woman who welcomed folk to paint her house in fresh colors. Painting was the task of the day, along with enjoying the company of our Jamaican friends!

Later that evening, a few of us returned to Salem Primary & Junior High School to share in some activities with the children. From sharing in new songs, activities exploring the theme of love, and a game of Huggie Bear, fun was had by all!
