Read the most recent update from Pringle Home for Children<\/a><\/p>\n Global Ministries partner church, the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands (UCJCI), operates the Pringle Home for Children which has been caring for boys and girls for over 70 years. It is located in Carron Hall, St. Mary. Children come to Pringle Home from situations of neglect and abuse, most having no family reference. The Pringle Home provides assistance for these abandoned, orphaned, and street children.\u00a0 Some of the services offered are education, recreation, employment training, and worship services.\u00a0 The Pringle Home participates in the Global Ministries Child Sponsorship Program and many of its children are sponsored by Disciple and UCC child sponsors.<\/p>\n Recreational activities bring the children much joy and tend to give them a temporary reprieve from the challenges of life they face on a daily basis.\u00a0 The children enjoy recreational activities such as soccer, jump roping, hopscotch, and reading; others enjoy listening to music, braiding and decorating each other\u2019s hair, and painting each other\u2019s nails.<\/p>\n Since the Pringle Home already experiences many challenges in meeting just the basic needs of the children, not many resources are available to provide for recreational activities.\u00a0 The Pringle Home is in need of acquiring new recreational equipment, books, and supplies so that the children can play and enjoy these activities and each other\u2019s company as their schedules and time permits.<\/p>\n Gifts to strengthen the Pringle Home\u2019s recreational programs are welcome to Global Ministries.\u00a0 Another means of supporting the initiatives of the Pringle Home is to become a child sponsor by providing $25 per month to the Child Sponsorship program<\/a> for support of a specific child who participants in the Pringle Home.<\/p>\n
