Within a day or so, our students fully adjusted to island
time. While there were a few concerns regarding what our schedule looked like
for the following days, most were happy to go with the flow and used Amizade’s
“Okay, good” philosophy.
We are being housed with different house mothers in
Galloway. Michelle and I are with Mrs. Kasantaroeno, the principal at Coke’s
View Primary School in Galloway. Other groups stayed with Mrs. White, Mrs.
Wright, Mrs. Palmer, and Mrs. Fenton. All seven of our male participants were
at Mrs. Fenton’s – who they swore was the “best” house mother (mainly due to
their competitive nature) and soon had nicknamed their home as the frat house.
Mrs. Kasantaroeno made our stay very, very comfortable and
was too nice, as the AOC house mothers tend to be. We’ve eaten Jamaica’s
national dishe of Ackee and Saltfish, we’ve eaten Curry Goat, Jerk Chicken, and
many other delicious dishes. Each morning and evening, what we ate for the
previous meal is always a hot topic amongst the SRU students.
More to come....
