The IHM Mustard Seed Communities ministry is preparing for trip number 12 to Jamaica! This year’s dates are February 4 – February 10, 2017.
Trip number 12 will be to Sophie’s Place in Kingston. This apostolate houses over 20 children with disabilities and participates in a project with Kingston's University of Technology in which the residents attend daily sessions with occupational therapists on the University campus.
Today, MSC serves over 500 children, young adults and families who belong to the most vulnerable groups in Jamaican society. The populations of these homes include children and young adults with disabilities, children affected by HIV/AIDS and teen mothers along with their babies. MSC Jamaica also manages a number of community outreach programs to combat poverty and provide education to local populations.
