Here are some of the pictures from the Day of Celebration in Jamaica. It was hosted on Saturday May 10th at a park on the beach in Portmore. Mother nature tested us a little bit with some heavy winds, but we were able to secure the large tents with sandbags and twine.
Also, most of the children do not get the opportunity to swim very often, so we like for them to spend the morning playing in the ocean. This year the water became pretty rough due to the high winds so we had to limit how far they were able to swim. We had a group of soldiers who volunteered to attend the event and work as life guards and security.
Some of the favorite events are the Hula Hoop contest, Tug of War contests, and the Dance competition.
Each child went back to the home with a package of nice toiletries, a gift bag of presents, and lots of chocolate! Each home also received large igloo coolers full of food, paper, and plastic items for general use. The caregivers and administrators were not forgotten. They too received gift bags.
