Behold the Kingdom of God is Within~Luke 17 verse 21
~Blessed Love~ and heartfelt greetings from Ras Mikey General and Sista Irie! The greatest gift in life is our ability to give and to uplift the lives of all living things. The Jamaica National Children's Home is an orphanage for parentless children. One wing, the Tegwyn Special Unit, also cares for children challenged with serious mental and physical disabilities. The home was founded in 1972 by the National Children's Home, U.K., and funded by them until 1999. The JNCH is now dependant on funding from the Jamaican government, churches, and private individuals. ***Photo by Diane Issachar***
Many of us visit Jamaica and hold a special love in our hearts, especially for the children. The purpose of this sight is to raise awareness and offer an opportunity to gather funding and material goods, to improve the lives of these children. Needless to say, the home is in constant need for even the barest of essentials. Besides funding, the JNCH is in crucial need of clothing, shoes, school materials, food, and computers. Several programs are also available: Sponsor A Child, Sponsor A Unit (bed linens, furnishings, etc) Mentoring, Be A Friend (visit and give emotional love and support),and Project Support (buy chickens, eggs, produce, baked goods). If you would like to participate by posting and suggesting ideas on ways to provide for the home, please let us come together in *love and unity* and do whatever we can. Ras Mikey General will be the spokesperson. Information for direct contact with the JNCH is posted in the first message. Give thanks and praises. Please feel free to post messages~ abundant love and appreciation,
SISTA IRIE and RAS MIKEY GENERAL
