Exciting, extraordinary experience

Although the excursions were amazing it could have been nice to spend more time in JNCH as there were still things we couldn’t get done. The caterers were really good and offered lots of variety. The accommodation was great. The staff there were super friendly and the bar was a bonus. Having Jermaine for photos on some excursions was great and really useful. The whole experience has been incredible and I’m really sad it has come to an end. Jomo is the best!!

JIP JIP Hooray!

We volunteered by painting the girl’s dorms at Jamaica National Children’s Home. It was the most wonderful experience as we really got to know the girls and their personalities. I really enjoyed spending time with the children and playing with them. It truly was an amazing experience. The excursions really immersed us in the culture of Jamaica. The food and accommodation were lovely and gave us an authentic experience of Jamaica.

A Fantastic two weeks!

We spent two weeks in Jamaica alternating between painting bedrooms in JNCH and exploring Jamaica through excursions. Our food was provided by a fantastic catering company who gave us traditional Jamaica eating experience every night. Port Royal hotel was ideal for us as we could stay for the full two weeks. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!
