PS - Thanks to Paul Robertson for these photos (I did not actually work at this site).

project #1 is complete! Long bay retired officers residence is done. A complete repaint of the outside and inside one of the vacated apartments. A toilet and a number of door knobs and locks were replaced as well as lots of scrubbing, landscaping, light replacement and fence repairs were completed. The majors next door were so thankful and happy with the new greenish colour... not exactly our first choice but in the warm climate it does seem appropriate. Now onto our next project... Josey Hill Corps.

Jamaica Mission 2013 - Hanbury Home for Children

Wow... time flies and due to a little too much travelling myself,  the blog has not been updated with much information on this years trip.. so ... here is a quick overview so far... more updates to come over the next two weeks!

Where are we?

Mandeville Jamaica - a 2.5 hour drive from Kingston.

Travel went really well this year. Other than having to pay for all of our extra baggage (gone are concessions from the airlines despite the purpose of our trip), customs went very smoothly and the drive was completed in daylight hours, on decent roads.

Who are we?

This year we have a diverse group of 34 ages 16-76.

What are we doing?

The goal this year is to replace the roof on the babyland building of the Hanbury Children's Home. There are 14 children residing in this building so replacing the roof, while we are also painting and repairing carpentry and plumbing needs while the children are still living in the building is a challenge to all!
