My Jamaican friends

[Canon Guy]

One of the joys I get in life is working with the children of Jamaica. For a couple of years now I have been working with a non-profit based in Illinois that works with schools and hospitals in and around Negril Jamaica. They contacted me a few years ago when someone had seen some of my images of that area. This is the third year they have auctioned off one of my photos and given one as a raffle prize during a national fundraiser. I was looking at the photos of a few of these absolutely wonderful children, who despite having so little,have so much in spirit and joy. I felt the urge to post some. I do not give them any of my children photos though.

When we say goodbye I get a little sad.

Beautiful images! The second just melts my heart -- have I seen it on this forum before? or in a magazine???? Thanks for sharing, casual portraits of kids are some of my favorite images -

Thanks much Jackie and MM!

have I seen it on this forum before?

Before I posted it I went back into my previous posts to make sure I was not repeating an image but if it's familiar to you I may have posted it before,my bad. That little girl melts my heart.
