Meals on Heels

Meals on Heels is something that One-by-Won started a few years ago. They divided us into small groups of 4-6 and sent us to different homes in the community to eat dinner with the families. The food was provided for them, but they prepared it and invited us into their homes for food and conversation. My group went to a woman named Carol Reid's home. Her husband, Joe, used to work for Won by One until he died five years ago. Carol has 5 children that she is now raising and supporting on her own. The home was one of the largest ones in Harmons, though it only had 3 separate rooms. We had the opportunity to eat with Carol and her daughters and talk about Jamaica and other things that were important to them. It was a great chance to be able to ask some of the questions we had been wondering all week about what it was like to live and grow up in a community like Harmons. As you can see from the picture, the girls loved my long, straight hair and made me take numerous pictures of them pretending it was their own.
