- Students
I live with my family, consisting of Me and my wife Joann, and our seven children, ranging in age from 6 to 24 years old. We live in quite a large, but traditional, Dominican home, with electricity, running water and television, in the heart of the beautiful village of Grand Fond.
We have a very large garden area full of dasheen (a local root vegetable) and star fruit, which we occasionally sell, as well as providing for the family.
I work as a fireman at Melville Hall Airport and spend most of my free time working in the garden or entertaining friends. Joann, with occasional help from me and the children, runs a local convenience store and bar in the village, which sells fried chicken and chips at the weekends. Most of the our seven children attend school, while the eldest child, Ortisha, has graduated from college.
to keep busy during your stay with us you can help us in our gardens, hike around the area with the kids, relax and have a drink with us, or help the family in our local business. On Sundays guests are also welcome to attend the local Baptist church with the me and my family.
