Welcome to Sophie's Place
After a sleepless night—we had to be at airport at 2:00AM—we arrived at the beautiful island of Jamaica. Tired but anxious of the journey ahead. All set aside when we felt the warmth and smiles of the people awaiting us at the airport. A drive through a classic Caribbean landscape got us to Sophie’s Place. Then all at once we met Donovan who greeted us wanting to hold our hands and take pictures. One of the aunties (the caregivers) introduced us to all the residents ranging from age from 5 years old to 30 something. Truth be told it was difficult to take in as most of the residents were wheelchair-bound and severely challenged. A surprise for most of us. Yet as the day ensued we became increasingly engaged – they opened up their world at Sophie’s Place to us.
