Hectic Week and Emancipation Day

Wow! What can I say? Twas a hectic week. Today is Emancipation Day, a national holiday commemorating African Jamaicans’ freedom from enslavement by the British. On account of this day, I had a short work week. There was too much to do, so I resorted to postponing the letter distribution task until next week. All in all most activities were accomplished, but under much personal stress. The culminating activity, a focus group discussion (FGD) session with members of the visually impaired community at the Jamaica Society for the Blind (JSB) provided a wealth of information for the proposal to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, but it has also left much work for me to execute over the course of my holiday weekend. So much for emancipation from slavery! Check out some of the FGD pics!
