<P class=StoryText align=justify>Dear Editor,<P class=StoryText align=justify>I write to express my thoughts on a recent trip back to Jamaica for a wedding. I am a Canadian but had the very good fortune to live in Jamaica for two years through a volunteer organisation (CUSO) and work at the School of Hope in Kingston. It has been over two years since I have been back to Jamaica and it seems more beautiful now.
The wedding was in Trelawny. It was very nice, I enjoyed seeing the country side again. After the wedding, I had the opportunity to go to Ocho Rios to spend some time on the beach with my wife, niece and mother-in-law. Talking to my niece, I told her I would love to move to Jamaica and she asked why, I told her the country and the people are beautiful and it would be a nice place to live. She said 'no, it's full of thieves'.
Jamaica is one of the nicest places that God put on this earth and to get advice from a young child that her country is not a good place to live because it's full of thieves, says to me that the youth of Jamaica have given up on calling Jamaica home. I ask the people of Jamaica to start a campaign to show your youth that Jamaica is beautiful and not to give up on where you come from.<P class=StoryText align=justify>
