This is a good program I joined and it was really informative. It will help me a lot with these children. Continue to do your work to help us and to help our children around the world. I am from Jamaica. I would like to ask if you have any training programs that that allows Jamaicans to train work and train? Especially those that doesn’t have the opportunity to go on to college.
