We're hoping to pull together another trip this spring, to again, focus on serving at the Infirmary. In the meantime we're gathering resources to share with the Nichola, the nurse who now volunteers at the Infirmary to help residents become more active, build muscular strength, and engage people in recreational activities.
We found some great videos on YouTube that show all kinds of physical therapy related activities for the elderly, but alas, we cannot secure computer and internet access for her until a team returns to Jamaica in January. It is things like this which make this long-distance work so challenging at times. We have an idea that we simply cannot implement. While there is likely access to a wireless signal, it would require a laptop to get online! Sigh.
We may head down mid-March (taking up to 8 people with us) or we may shoot for taking a larger group (we'd need at least 18 people) in mid-May. Interested???
