Amizade’s Partnership in Jamaica is Honored!
We are so proud of our partnership in Petersfield and of the great work done by our site director in Jamaica, Matthias Brown. We are not the only ones recognizing the great work of Mr. Brown and the AOC, in August, the AOC was recognized for their great work with the prestigious Michael Manley Award for Community Self-Reliance! This is the second time the AOC has received this honor. Mr. Brown was also recognized for his outstanding contributions to nation building through service this October with the Badge of Honor for Meritorious Service. Congratulations to Mr. Brown, the AOC, and the community of Petersfield!

IUP in Jamaica: Roaring Rivers and Summer Camp
Hi all! Yesterday we experienced our second full day of the AOC Summer Camp and we’re all starting to get into the swing of things. We love the kids here so much and they never fail to welcome us as soon as we arrive for the day. There are three groups of kids separated into kiddies, juniors, and seniors so we’ve all been experiencing each group as much as we can and they’re all very happy to have us. For part of the day they have a lesson and complete school work based upon the lesson, then we break for lunch which usually consists of delicious curry chicken and rice, and the rest of the day is fun and games.
