Mar 24th, 2024 | Category: GLEANER PREMIUM | 14:54#JamaicaGleaner #Haiti #MustardSeed #Safety #Disabled #Caregiver MARCH 24, 2024: Nestled in the serene community of Haddon in Moneague, St Ann, is Jacob’s Ladder. A safe haven where modern-day disciples and angels care for scores of the most disadvantaged children and adults. Located on 150 acres, it is the largest operation of the global Mustard Seed charity organisation in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. This is where you will find over 70 Haitians who fled their crisis-riddled country by sea around midnight Tuesday, arriving in Jamaica on Thursday morning. Among them are 15 caregivers and 59 at-risk children from HaitiChildren, a non-profit residential facility for the disabled.
