jonesville point
a walk way to the sea and sky
this little bridge is at the end of the point
and charlie, our guide, who took us
through the mangroves
told us
'dis is where we's goes swimmin'
da wada she be real clear here'
oh i should tell you!
while i was flying home
to roatan
a couple of ladies overheard that i lived
in roatan and one of them
joanna
came over and asked if i'd take them on a tour
of course!
we had a great day together
isabel and joanna
two wonderful chicks
from new york
made my day!
we went to miss peggy's clinic where
joanna gave a donation of medical supplies
then we went to jonesville
through the mangroves
enjoyed a nice visit with flora at
punta gorda and the serene quiet of
the simple life there
went through coxen hole
visited the 'made in roatan' shop
where we picked up bob
then they wanted to go up in the colonia
so i took them there
we ran into roberto (not literally)
from channel 4
and he introduced us to a family
so poor
yet so happy.
a young girl was there happily washing clothes outside
by hand
when he told us that the 8 year old girl
hadn't gone to school yet
both isabel (a teacher)
and i (a softie)
both started to cry.
there are so many needs on this island.
we need wisdom to know what to do
i gave them some money to help with food
but i think i will go back there with more for them
or perhaps you'd like to sponsor
the girl to go to school??
it costs about 500L (35.00) a year
for school supplies, fees
and the uniform to go to school.
let me know.
