The new skatepark in Boston Bay, Portland has been the best thing since slice bread for the BBCC children. A popular new spot - members of the community, volunteers and the BBCC children visit daily to practice and hone their skating and cycling skills.

Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.

Thanks to the BBCC children and our volunteers (especially Curli and Kathi) our BBCC farm is alive and well with fresh new produce and new baby seedlings growing every day. Originally from Israel, Curli and his girlfriend Kathi travelled to Jamaica to get a break from the city and get more into nature. 

​With special attention and adult supervision, the BBCC children also visit the farm often, watering the plants and replanting seedlings as necessary. 

Plants that are currently in harvest are: Gungo Peas, Cabbage, Pak Choi, Callaloo, Peppers, Arugala, Fevergrass and Plaintains.  Fresh Seedlings:  Moringa, Watermelon, Tomatoes & Chive.

Our faith can move mountains.

Children from the Boston Bay community in Portland, Jamaica had a lot of fun showing off their talents at a recent event held in Portland. From dancing to singing, our community boasts a lot of talented children.

Jamaica is renowned for its dancing and vibes culture and Boston Bay is no different. Every so often, local dancers pass through to host a local dance workshop. Food is provided and we all have fun learning the latest Jamaican dance moves.

This month we are happy to have Violeta from Spain helping our kids one to one with their individual maths challenges !
​
And Timmy with the Keyboard, MUSICIAN  and Music Teacher from BOSTON BAY ,  is our new addition, helping our kids to develop their Singing  Talent !

​Darryl Munroe, returning resident and passionate BMX rider made his dream come true by bringing an Organisation here to us who already has built BMX & Skateparks in a dozen countries all around the world! A multicultural cool crew of 36 skate pros from all over, including: Denmark, Columbia, France, Australia, Japan, China and more. Lots of the members knew each other from former projects in Morocco, Syria, Nepal, Mexico, Nigeria, Malaysia, and 5 of them were girls! It has been an amazing teamwork beyond all borders of cultural conditioning & individual personalities. They had crowdfunded 10 million J$ for this project. and all had a vast background of diverse experiences to share. It was a vibrant scene of unity, which made the dream become reality. The connecting vision  stronger then  any clash of different personalities, opinions, beliefs and truths. Instead, plenty to learn from one another. And one “SkaterSpirit” of sharing their greatest passion together in places where you would not find those opportunities otherwise!  We thank you Darryl and every one else from this unity-inspiring international team !!  We love you 💖And also thanks to our strong local team who took care of them and made them feel at home at our Community Center ! For 3 and half weeks everyone camped out here with us, ate and lived together ! A beautiful experience with a great impact in uplifting our community!
