Kingston with present position and memories of my Sister Dawn. That’s her daughter Chrystal @ Kingston, Jamaica

COVID-19 Concerns all the way from Palm Springs to L.A. to Kingston. Missed my flight out of L. A. Restrictions to board the flight changed this very day. Needed an up to date test. Found a place on Manchester that got me results in 15 min. Reschedule thru Miami to Kingston. It raining on East St. That St. George Church.

What a wonderful experience. I have finished the inventory. 429 works have been photographed, numbered. 429 women took time to paint a wall, a house, a storage... place in the village of Siby. I share some high lights. Difficult to choose. You can still visit until the rain season. The rain will wash it off and next year the women start again. #unidansladiversite #BOGOJA Together with Bougou Saba See more
