BLUEFIELDS PROJECT

Formerly the old Spanish colonial town of Oristan, Bluefields is now a quiet town in the heart of the Jamaican countryside with a wide variety of eco-activities and adventure tours available including world class bird-watching at Font Hill Beach, Jamaican crocodiles and the vibrant water birds in Black River. A simple fishing village with some of the best panoramic vista on the island you will find little of the glitz and glamour of city life in Montego Bay or the parties and nightlife of Negril.

There is a sense of balance and calm as one unwinds to enjoy the “soon come” laid back vibe. In contrast to the beauty of Bluefields the community is struggling to survive. The fish are few, as are the jobs. CJMAS has adopted this community in an effort to help build the local economy and shape the minds of the next generation by actively supporting the local education system.

Some of the projects undertaken by CJMAS in Bluefields include building a basic school, supporting a fish co-op, setting up a self-sustaining silk screening & sewing small business and putting computers in the Bluefields Community Association.
