University of Cincinnati Program Review

The experience with Jamaica Volunteer Programs was a terrific one. The excursions that were planned for us were solid cultural immersions that allowed us to quickly understand and feel connected to the Jamaican culture. We went to Dunn's River Falls, the Maroon village in Charles Town, and to Strawberry Hill and Creighton Estate. These excursions allowed us to see Jamaica in a broad view. For the volunteering aspect of our trip, we were in primary schools and a Salvation Army orphanage. Working with the children for four days was incredible because it allowed us to see and experience the school system and interact directly with Jamaican culture.
