Recent Project: Hurricane Relief in Jamaica

MRP and a team of Volunteers recently completed a hurricane relief project in Trelawny, Jamaica. Mer(v), Rhoads and seven US volunteers traveled to the island and worked alongside local volunteers to clean up Burwood Public Beach. The MRP team removed debris and garbage, painted buildings, erected signs, fixed a water supply line and reduced a mosquito breeding area. Check out the project video on You Tube to see the Team in action.

MRP would like to thank Friends of Jamaica for funding and supporting this project.
