The Caribbean Medical Mission has once again blessed Jamaica with their presence and free medical assistance.

The Mission, a valued partner of N.E.E.T., is a non-profit organization of volunteers who give of their time to treat the underprivileged people of the Caribbean which includes Jamaica, Guyana and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as closer to their base in New Jersey, USA. Each member finances his/her own way on the medical mission trips. The Mission has distributed millions of dollars in medication, medical equipments, beds, eye glasses, computers, books and clothing to the people of the Caribbean.

The mission visited several parts of Jamaica including locations in Westmoreland. Workers in the resort industry of Negril were also able to get free medical checkups.

Special thanks to superclubs group especially Hiedonism for providing dinner to the Mission, Sandals Resort, The Rockhouse, JUTA Negril, and The Rotary Club Negril for their assistance.

On Thursday July 30th 2009 the Negril Education Environment Trust (N.E.E.T) was successful in receiving the attention of the Minister of Education regarding our Virtual Library concept, a brain child of Mr. Wayne Deleon.

At approximately 5:00 pm the Minister of Education; Hon Andrew Holness was escorted to Travellers Beach Resort accompanied by Hon. Dr. Wykeham McNeil; member of parliament for Western Westmoreland, where the presentation took place. Although not all of the needs for the project could be met by the Ministry of Education, the Minister was very receptive to the ideas and plans that were laid out even stating that once the project is complete they will use it as one of their tools for education.

The next phase of the project will be networking the libraries that we are building in an effort to deliver material to the schools from a centralized database of educational information. We’ll be able to provide teachers with the latest in educational software and ensure that international standards of educational material are being met.
