Hello, Team JA!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer break.  As I am clearing off my final “to do list” for the trip I wanted to share the queries that we posted at the beginning of every day in Jamaica with the hope that some of them will continue to guide your thinking.  They are in chronological order, starting on the first full day of the trip:

How can we bear witness in the schools without passing judgements or making comparisons?

What can I do to serve the group, increasing my participation, versus just observing in hopes of leaving a lasting impact?

How has reading books changed my life?  How can literacy justice make a difference in the world?

Why are there massive differences in the same culture?

How does Quakerism affect me? How do I embody it? (church day)

How can I take the lessons I learned through service and apply them to everyday life?

How do resources and environment affect one’s future?

How do I answer the question “How was your trip to Jamaica?” in a way that does not disparage or marginalize the Jamaican community?

Thank you for an amazing experience!  Hope you all got to see the picture link.
Sincerely,
Angela
