Jamaica

If you're like me, you smile when you hear the word "Jamaica."  The bobsled team.  Bob Marley.  One Love.  

You might not know that Jamaica suffers from a high rate of illiteracy, a booming HIV/AIDS crisis, and the ignominy of being the murder capital of the Caribbean.

Catholic Relief Services is trying to help Jamaica by promoting peace, addressing HIV/AIDS, helping with disaster recover from past hurricanes and promoting education.  Here's more on their work.

Some other smaller groups that are active missionaries in Jamaica include:

• Missionaries of the Poor
• Kingdom Builders
• The Passionists
• Jamaica Missions

And many more.
