Here's to Your Health!


Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 John 2
Thirty active children with fiesty personalities means that we deal with a lot of bumps and bruises and colds and flu. So we invited our friend and fellow missionary, Peggy Pyatt, a Registered Nurse, to join us yesterday to teach a First Aid Training Clinic for the staff of New Vision City of Refuge.
More Jamaicans per year die of AIDS than cancer, heart disease or murder. In the Caribbean HIV/AIDS is growing at a staggering rate (the secondest fastest rate in the world) so Peggy and her husband Gary led an HIV/AIDS Awareness class for the staff and teen-agers. They have done similar awareness training at PTAs, public schools and churches all around the island.
Gary and Peggy are the LACC co-ordinators in Jamaica and you can visit their website at www.jamaicachildcare.com.
