Robin's Nest Children's Home In Jamaica.
Escape by Travel will be traveling to Jamaica for a work trip & we're stopping at Robin's Nest Children's Home on Oct. 1, 2018.
The directors of Robins Nest Children's Home are natives to MN.
Escape by Travel has done a Pack for a Purpose to other Caribbean islands & recently in South Africa. We are asking for your kindness & we are looking for donations to help these kids out. The children will be just finishing up school soon therefore they are looking for more along the ways of Christmas & the every day items.
