The Village where nobody lives anymore

The excitement flowed through Kino’s body, sending chills up his spine, as his heart pounded in his chest, so much that he thought it would explode. His steps quickened as he turned off the main road onto that old familiar dirt trail. Like a little boy, the 45 year old almost skipped along, as fond memories came flooding – his parents, his wife Annette, his friends – all so near. And when he thought the feeling was too much to bear, just when he thought he was going to explode, something caught his eyes. A few feet ahead, the dirt track was no more, tall shrubs and grass now replaced the well-lit path to his community. His heart stopped. The place was dark, He paused and asked, “Where am I? Is this the right place?” and when no answer came, Kino, now recovering from his disbelief decided to prod on. He parted his way through the overgrown grass, and there and then it hit him. The village was abandoned. He had reached the centre of the community and in disbelief, he closed his eyes,...

Change a Life Jamaica- Hope for Ramon

JACQUELINE FRANK'S worst fears were realised the day she walked into a classroom with her son, Ramon Rankin, on his first day at primary school. Everyone froze, and the gaze of the little ones remained fixed on her son. Too frail to absorb the shock, she burst into tears. "Sometimes I cry to see the response to Ramon, and that day, it was the teacher who comforted me," reminisced Frank, as she revealed that this was the usual response from the public whenever she was on the road with Ramon. Remembering those incidents pierces her heart. Frank was worried that her son would hate school because of the treatment that was meted out to him there, but now she is assured that nothing will cause Ramon to hate school, as the youngster, who wants to be a doctor, has developed his own coping mechanisms, shrugging off the most hateful comments and maintaining his place as one of the top-10 students in his class. Dedication to learn His dedication to learn is clear, as...
