Review
I first want to say that from the moment I arrived at the facility that the staff was personable, professional and under promised and over delivered. The start of our volunteer trip we had some amazing food prepared by Jamaica renowned chef Auntie Louise who is a woman of few words verbally but, the love and dedication to her craft spoke volumes through the love she presented in all of her meals she prepared for our group. The warm smile,friendly spirit and knowledge that was shared with us about the culture was impossible to not to embrace by Andrene, Khadijah and Michael. The Evans family went above the extra mile when many of our team members luggage was lost, flights were delayed, they made the necessary adjustments, calls and transportation arrangements to ensure that the excursion can continue on without a hitch. Last the passion and commitment that was shown by Mrs. Evans aka Auntie Maureen in demonstrating her passion of teaching, reaching and enlightening our team with the local community's needs, the history from past to present, and Jamaica Volunteer Programs future vision was inspiring and mission essential focused that I will be spreading the word to all of my colleagues back in the USA. I highly recommend that if you have a passion for giving back, making the world slightly better then you found it, and want to learn and have fun at the same time that you contact this organization and see how you can make a contribution.
