My entire group loaded up onto the bus, and Marla started to explain what we should expect.

| The poor houses in Jamaica were formed when the queen was ruling the country. She built these poor houses to house the elderly and handicapped that were uncared for. | |

She continued explaining that these "poor houses" had no government regulations to ensure good care for the residents.

| I just want to give you a heads up of what to expect. This is not like a nursing home in the United States. | |
