Last Two Days in Jamaica
During the last two days of the trip, the ambassadors: hiked on a nearby mountain, trained and went tubing at River Rapids. We also had a hard fime saying goodbye to our new friends — only until next time.

What I Learned From Yesterday (June 23)
"What I liked about today was when we trained with the kids at the beach because they had a really good time and learned a lot." -Maiya

What I Learned From Yesterday (June 23)
"Seeing the school further clean up with paint was great but the music of the kids singing Christian songs and reading scripture was truly inspiring. I had a chance to teach a class of 35 students; it was amazing to see them excited to learn simple math. The best part was that after an hour of teaching the kids, they begged to keep learning, even though the lunch bell had rung. Even better was the kid that stayed behind who refused to participate, but after working with him for 10 minutes his eyes glowed with excitement as I broke down the math for him and understanding came to him. Later, I realized that he had recently lost his mother to a heart attack a week before. The impact I had was small but I am glad I got the opportunity." -Mr. Smith
