Kingston

In the past 110 days there have been 394 murders (according to the news report today)

The average weekly salary here is about 5000 Jamaican dollars--roughly $56.00 USD

To continue on to high school you have to pass an entrance exam to get in thus only 80% of the population has a high school education.

All this presents some challenges when trying to implement health care. I will be posting about my experiences at the public hospital tomorrow.
