Dear Trinidad, please prepare the shipment of Sunshine Snacks to send over in the aid packages after Berly pass. I’m going to need cheese Zees and digestives. 🥺
Help us to pray for our families in St Elizabeth. We haven’t heard anything for hours and the last thing call some people was that roof was gone and trees and poles are down every where.
Since Kingston escaped the storm, anybody has a generator can lend me to take to St E tomorrow ? There is no power or phone service so it would be used by a number of ppl. Please 🥺🫂
People have started rebuilding, removing trees from roads. Repairing roofs, doing as much as they can to save crops. Someone was walking around in my community cutting up trees for ppl without anyone asking.

why must you behave this way? I would like to describe you as my learned , respectable attorney friend but not when people see these tweets 🤣
Its going to be a long road to recovery. I saw concrete JPS poles which were completed uprooted. Whole roofs blown off and ended up in ppl’s yards, black drums, zinc every everywhere.
I was able to speak to my brother for about a min. Our house is mostly ok but it’s really bad and the community needs supplies, tanks lost roofs so water is really needed . The road to our community is blocked so reaching them will be a challenging.
Taxi driver is having a totally meltdown about how something is “spiritually “ wrong with his car. So you know the whole ride I’m having my last conversation with God and confessing all my sins because me not about to be a victim of a car struggling with it’s spirituality
So proud of my school . Every year at graduation our ladies are given a tree to take home and plant. Its always important that our ladies understand the symbolism of planting , setting up roots and contribution to our society.

I spent quite a bit of time with family listening to their experiences as the storm passed outside of the loss of property ppl are also traumatized. I hope there is an increase in the mental health services available at clinics in Junction.

Went to Treasure Beach today. OMG. I’m not posting any pictures of homes because it might be triggering for ppl who haven’t heard from their families or seen their homes as yet.
Black River was also the first town in Jamaica to receive electricity, the first to have a motor car and the first place to have a race track.

In all the conversation about schools and grades , we are absolving parents of their responsibilty to parent, monitor, check-in attend report days , PTAs are the worse they have ever been, some schools don't even have active ones.
My mom is getting commissioned as a JP today . So happy that she is doing something for herself for once . All she has ever done is take care of us. She didn’t even take us as guests , she took her husband 😂😩
After mths of drought , expensive trucks of water and supplies , rains have come with its own struggle of frost which burns plants . Expect high prices for produce over the next few mths. Pics of my mom's little garden.

We have this same problem with Hampton, some girls don’t even want to hear the school’s name, my sister included. It’s like we went to two different schools
The challenge with trying to reform anything in Jamaica . we need to get away from the idea that 6 days of exams should determine a child’s future. We have lots of people who are skilled not book bright .Our advancement requirements need to be more reflecting of a modern system.
My little sister is a whole manager for expertise for a Canadian city. Who would have thought. A poor little girl from St E, 2 degrees and PMP. She worked full-time through all of those including undergrad. I wanna cry when I remember the struggles
