Review

I enjoyed the experience at Smokey Manor. Working with less privileged schools was certainly an eye-opening experience for me, as I had never seen similar conditions at home in Canada. I particularly enjoyed learning how to mix cement with dirt and gravel while we helped to redo the floor of the classroom at Golden Hill Basic School. It's great to see how people can make the most of what they have and live their lives with a positive attitude no matter what they are faced with. I liked being able to make a difference in the lives of children who I've encountered, as this allows for me to truly feel the impact of the effort we put forth into our volunteer trip. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Jamaica and I'm grateful to have experienced it with Jamaica Volunteer Programs at Smokey Manor. Yeah mon!

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
