There is a group from Goshen College here in Mandeville who will spend 6 weeks studying Jamaican culture and will then go to different deaf schools around the island(like a foreign exchange program). I have gotten to know the instructor and her family a little as I have had opportunities to work with them. My friend Felicia is teaching this class and because she is deaf all the students must know sign language to be part of this program. Today Felicia brought her students here to tour CCCD KP and after they were done a girl came up to me and I knew I knew her... I didn't know how... and then it clicked. She is a Kennel from Eureka! I know her family and went to school with her sisters but don't know that I have ever met her before. How fun it was to see someone who is familiar what I know back in the states! So hopefully I will have more opportunities to see and work with Leslie as she is down here learning Jamaican culture. What fun surprises God blesses us with sometimes!
Be blessed and be a blessing
i love you
Erin

There's a photo of Felecia talking with some of those Goshen students. I am a parent and was searching out other blogs from the region, since the official Goshen site was not being kept current and fortunately stumbled on yours. Our daughter was in that group.
May your work at CCCD be blessed with opportunities to minister in these young lives.
