Morning everyone! well...afternoon

JG...that camel pic is a classic! I've never rode a camel before. Horse, elephant, yeah...but no camels. Where was that at?

Happy Anniversary KK!

Hey Jamerican! Good to see you

About the whole charity thing...I LOVE philanthropic work...I studied cultural anthropolgy in college and my minor was in nonprofit leadership

I started a charity back in 2006. Every year we send a barrell of school supplies and give them out. We go to a park in my district to distribute the supplies and have other things such as food, games, and a bounce house. This has been the work of my family as well as some of my close friends. Right now I'm working on getting 501c3 status so that people who donate can get tax write offs...that way we can get business sponsorships. I tried to get free shipping from a barrell company and the first thing they asked for was the 501c3 status

Sending the supplies is another thing...the customs dept will think you are going to sell them so you have to apply for a waiver of duty from the Minister of Finance (Audley Shaw). It wasn't hard for me because him and my late uncle were close friends.

We've also adopted a primary school. The principal is a friend of the family. It helps when you know people involved because there is more credibility and it is easier to track where the donated funds are going.

If anyone has any questions about starting a nonprofit, etc, feel free to PM me

If we start one just from members of the thread...count me in

Good for you Mar!!! And all of this while you were a F/T student???

Bwoy, I really have no excuse not to get involved.

There is a project in Negril where you buy bricks at Traveller's resort that are then used to build on schools - Or a friend of mine has started a non-profit that is building a music school in JA -

If either of those projects interest anyone, I can do a collection and we can make a mass donation -

[*JG* 2]

OK - Mrs. Scott...does he have his greencard or just the K3 visa?

GC.

The K3 is a multiple entry visa for the US. Not Canada. As a Jamaican, cause he's not a US LPR yet, he needs a Canadian visa then.

It would be very easy to visit once he gets his GC.

ahahha..ongly yuh would ask dat deh question

[sus 70]

I know. I ain't worth a damn! Mrs. Scott only posts when she needs information. My husband wants to visit his relatives in Canada. We have not started the AOS process. The K-3 visa is a multiple entry visa. Does any one know if he can travel to Canada. I thought he could only travel with a green card. Please advise.

He can travel in and out of the US on a K3 - that is a multiple entry visa - The question is what he needs to visit Canada - As a Jamaican citizen, he needs a Temporary Resident visa to visit Canada - http://geo.international.gc.ca/latin-ameri...visitor-en.aspx

OK maybe I misunderstood you but are you saying he has his GC?

I know for a fact you can visit Canada on your GC (once you are a permenant resident) A did it many times as we are only a few minutes from the border. If Mrs. Scott only has the K3 and they haven't gotten the greencard then he cannot enter Canada without a visa.
