Summer Staff Profile #1

Hello everybody and greetings from Harmons, Jamaica! Right now, the Staff is still preparing the Harmony House (and ourselves) for the first group, which will arrive in Harmons on Monday. So in the meantime, I would like myself to introduce...myself. My name is Tim and I will be primarily in charge of the blog for the summer. Although, I would like to add that I am not the only one you will be hearing from. The blog is an open forum not only for me, but also for the other seven Staff members who be in Harmons for the summer. So here is a little bit about me!
