More on Rose Town

Following up on yesterday's post, Hank Dittmar of The Prince's Foundation sent three new photos that were taken earlier this week in Rose Town, Jamaica.  Together they capture some of the progress and pride that the project is engendering. 

The first is of the house on Tobias Street, shown in yesterday's post and now occupied.  The second shows Hank standing in front of a mural honoring Melanie Walker, Olympic gold medalist and Rose Town native.  The third is a nice mural outside the new library.  Enjoy:
