All this is not taken for granted, as we need the continued support of the great support staff, the liaison staff that we work with whenever we need them. These men and women perform a service that only they can perform for our crew. When one of the crew takes ill, gets injured, or loses family back home, these staff workers can make an unbelievable difference how that worker responds. Having one of their own to talk to comforts them and recovery can be many times faster.

“Congratulations to you and all the staff of JCLO on your 75th Anniversary. I can’t believe how the time passes by so fast. It seems like it was only last year when we were in Montego Bay celebrating your 40th Anniversary. That year was when the JCLO held annual meetings and it was indeed an honor to participate. I believe we have been in the program now for over 50 years.”

“Our relationship and feelings about JCLO remains as strong as ever.  Our local workforce of employees that want to do agricultural work shrinks every year.  We depend on the great, dedicated group of workers that we receive every year. These good men are like family to our family farm.”

“On October 16, 2004, I travelled to the United States to work on the hotel worker programme. We were met at the airport by our Liaison Officer Mrs. Debbie Hutchinson and right away I felt very relaxed. Two hundred of us left our families to come and work and make a better life for our loved ones.”

“During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I was transferred to Louisiana where I had the opportunity of meeting another helpful Liaison Officer, Mr. Sheldon Brown, who stayed with us and reassured us throughout both Hurricane Katrina & Rita.”
