Appalachian State

I liked how we were able to go into the schools in Jamaica and have a balance of the "fun touristy Jamaica" when we had our free day at the beach as well as some of the more impoverished areas so that the group could get the feeling that they had seen multiple perspectives of the nation, as it is not one-or-the-other. While it was with good intentions, it felt a little strange to have the cameraman come into my classroom. It made the kids crazier and I felt that I had been the reason that they were being crazier then. Overall though my experience with Jamaica Volunteer Program has been an excellent one.
