Inside Jamaica


 
   

Halls of Learning's robotics project in Jones Town provided the inspiration for Robotics Stimul-I. Struck by the people and images encountered through our work, we share with you a photo essay and inspired poetry both titled,Inside Jamaica:Each day we pass these facesLiving in their confined spacesSometimes surrounded by waste Most of them growing with the taste Of sufferation and despair And then add violence, gunshots ring through the air But still hardworking and full of pride So even in their eyes, they cannot hide The feigning of hope And so, they cope Some waiting and singing "betta mus come" Some sacrificing and plodding for the better, to come Some wishing for the wingsof a dove Most surviving on the fumes of love Look inside Jamaica and see the crying need It might not be your neighbour,but you should take heed

its true as long as you have family surrouding u being poor doesnt matter because u learn how to improvise,like me if i wer to go back and live in ja i would probably cry everyday because i'm not used to it but i love to go and visit though because it reminds me life is not all about money and material things u could servive without them

More than likely less than a third of Jamaicans are Ashante. The other two major tribes would be the Igbo and the Yoruba in Nigeria.
