International journeys to Camphill- Jordan's story

Parents of our international students reflect on their journeys to Camphill

Jamaica - Jordan’s Story

By Tammy Hart, his mom

T’was early one morn, 

way before dawn,

that I searched online for that something unknown.

And then, my gosh! Camphill Special School got clicked…

What was this place, did it really exist?

I couldn’t wait to call 

Bernie told all

we come from Jamaica, 

this would be for the fall.

But Jordy was seizing, 

it was not under control.

We’d visit and make the call.

We arrived at Camphill

Jordy was shy, he had the EEG on his head,

but there was something about the place

just something he felt…

That here he would soon have his bed.

Then miracles happened…

Jordan’s seizures got controlled,

The grandson of Karl Koenig visited our isle,

And staying in our own home! 

A miracle to the max!

This must be the place for us

we have been guided, 

let’s now relax!

So in September 2012 Jordy arrived at Trillium

Hyun and Morn his new mum

this was a dawn of a new day

for Jordan, his parents, his bro

What more can we say!

Triumphant we smile, and sing with joy

how happy and proud is our now 15 year old boy

Jordan thrives, 

and proudly lives in two zones,

his Jamaica life and his Camphill home!
