Photos

For your interest, we will add pictures to this collection as Erin submits them. Because of the tenuous connection to the internet under the best of conditions, it takes a long time to hook up and the connection is frequently lost. She persisted and took two hours to upload the latest ten pictures, so we feel very fortunate to have these. Needless to say, there is not much high-speed internet service available in Jamaica!

Stony Hill Church
Where it all began; the Passionist order has always been in this parish. Erin's Uncle Mike remembers it from his days in Jamaica as a Passionist priest. Lucian worked with the pastor, Fr. Gaston, to establish a volunteer support to the mission parish families, using the philosophy of "accompaniment". (explained on PVI website)

Stony Hill Hotel
This is where the four volunteers and Fr. Lucian live. It is handy to the community, and has modern conveniences like running water and even a pool. However, dispense with any North American notions of what a hotel looks like.

King Weston Church and School
Each volunteer has one major school/parish and helps out at others. Erin was assigned to King Weston. The intial role was to tutor students and teach classes. Erin also began a boy's club at the school, to do sports, and Sunday School at the church, which was held outside on the grass.
