For my spring break this year, I went on my very first mission trip to Jamaica. I stayed at a hotel in Montego Bay and visited two schools: the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf in Eden and the Blossom Garden Child Care Facility in Montego Bay. No photos of the children were allowed at the Blossom Garden facility, and that is where I spent most of my week. While it is unfortunate I do not have photography of my wonderful experience with the toddlers there, I still do have many photos of other parts of my trip. The children seen in these photos are from the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf.
