Hey Guys,
The summer staff has entered their last work week here in Harmons, Jamaica and there is only ten days until we leave. All of this seems to be completely bittersweet. I think we all miss our families and friends back in America, but we all share a love for the place that we have called home for the past ten weeks, a small village in the Manchester Parish of Jamaica known as Harmons. It is coming into all of our realizations that next Friday will be the last time we will see all of our friends here for quite a while. Everyone that we have shared our summer's with, growing closer and making lifetime friendships with will have to stay here while we travel back to the States. There is so much that I will miss when I leave here like dancing in the playfield behind the Harmony House, playing soccer every week with all of my Jamaican friends, and watching some of the Jamaicans interact with their own people at the infirmary. I have seen some incredible things while I have been here and I have been able to watch some of my teenage friends grow into men before my eyes. This has been such a great experience that I myself have been able to grow from and I cannot wait for the chance to come back and visit everyone here and continue developing our relationships.
Until Next Time,
Evan Smith
