Stop tearing down Jamaica

Dear Pastor,

Jamaica has many ill people. They have nowhere to go to get help. Our people don't even know they are ill. It is so sad.

Dear Unnamed

I observe that you are writing from abroad but didn't give your name or initials.

I suppose you mean well but, please, don't say negative things about Jamaicans.

The situation is not as bad as you may think. It is not true that there isn't anywhere for people to go to get help.

That is not a fair statement at all. In plain language, don't run down Jamaica.

We wish that more medical facilities were available and at a lower cost but this country has come a long way and those of you who live abroad can do much more to help Jamaica.

When you are criticising Jamaica, talk about the good things that are available.

Pastor
