Jamaica Needs Our Help!
From JamLink.com:
JMF to assist Manchester Family
While overcoming challenges is part of the daily routine for many struggling families in Jamaica; one family in particular from Knockpatrick, now defunct bauxite district of Manchester is at rope’s end and in dire need of assistance.
Unable to pay the rent after falling several months behind, this family of seven will need to find another place to live or face eviction on April 30, 2010. I spoke directly with the landlord and was informed that while he expects full payment of the back-rent, an eviction order was filed with the courts and will remain in effect, citing the monthly property mortgage as his foremost concern.
With sincere empathy for the landlord, I advised the family to defer payment until later when they are better able fulfill those obligations, since it would not deter eviction and the possibly of becoming homeless; and to use whatever charitable assistance we can provide towards a new place to live.
I am informed that it would cost approximately $250/month (USD) for suitable housing for the family, plus the typical rental deposit equaling the same. Additionally, I am hopeful that relief fund equivalent to three months ($750) rent, would provide sufficient allowance for this family find meaningful income.
In responding to the plight of this Manchester family, we established the "Jamaica Matters Fund" (JMF) - a funding program to increase our capacity in dealing with the numerous disparities throughout Jamaica. The JMF Program will exist as an association among local partners and our non-profit arm, Vonergy Inc., a registered 501(c) (3) Charitable Organization - Federal Tax Identification: 57-1206488.
If you wish to help but have questions or need further clarification, please contact us at: jamlink@gmail.com or by calling us at: 305-218-2878.

A Spring Break and Summer missions experience is yours in the beautiful country of Jamaica Mon! Over the past 17 years, literally hundreds of groups of high school and college students have assisted in construction and evangelism efforts in one of the poorest areas of Kingston, Jamaica.
For the past two years MISSION JAMAICA! has partnered with MISSION SERVE to plan and conduct customized mission trips to Jamaica. This past year a North Carolina group of 80 spent seven days doing construction work to a church outside of Kingston, visiting a center for impaired children, and numerous evangelistic outreach events.
Cost of the basic experience is $700 per person, not including airfare. This includes all meals, lodging and one day at the beach! Contact Mission Serve for more information!
