My personal message:

We're in Jamaica!

Please follow us on our trip of service through our blog.  Posts will be updated around 10:00 PM every night from now until November 7th when we return.
 

 Hoboken Goes to Jamaica!

We're a team of young adults from Hoboken, NJ and the greater New York City area traveling back to Kingston, Jamaica for the fifth time in October to work with the children and caregivers of Mustard Seed Communities. Our team is incredibly lucky to be a part of their lives through our annual trips to these homes. You can find out more about this organization that operates all over the world at www.mustardseed.com.

Many of the children we spend time with in Kingston are mentally and/or physically handicapped. Some of the innocent young children are born with HIV/AIDS. Any and all support that we can provide these children along with their incredible caregivers and administrators is greatly appreciated. We have been lucky in our lives to have what we have, and we are so privileged to spend time with the people of Mustard Seed and share our love with them.

Our trip is 100% funded by our generous friends and families. Keep an eye out for upcoming events and ways to help. Thanks for your thoughts as we venture to Kingston in November to lend our hearts and bodies to help in any way that we can.

Other Ways to Give: 

Please visit our list of donations that are needed in Jamaica and that we hope to take with us on our trip for the kids.  If you can provide any of the items please complete the spreadsheet with your name and we will reach out to you to coordinate your donation.  Click here for the spreadsheet.
