Peace Corps ~ Jamaica

Richard Sitler served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Jamaica from 2000 to 2002. He worked at the Lluidas Vale All Age School in the community of Lluidas Vale in St. Catherine Parish. Lluidas Vale is located in the center of the island on a high plateau which is filled with the sugar cane fields of the Worthy Park Estate. Lluidas Vale is a community of about 5,000 people.

Lluidas Vale All Age School has very few resources and could use any donations of books, children's videos, soccer balls and other sporting equipment and etc. If you are interested in helping those in need in Lluidas Vale you can through the Lluidas Vale Development and Rehabilitation Foundation at http://www.worthyvillage.com.

Sitler returned to Jamaica in 2006 as a Peace Corps Crisis Corps volunteer and served the EWarton Community Development Action Committee as a curriculum developer.
