Jamaica Rasta Ecotourism
Roots Rasta Family
Mokko's family lives adjacent to Riverside Cool Cottages. This is Jamaica ecotourism at its best!
Doret (the kid's mother) and the twins, Shawna and Shannell, ages 18, live in a house next to the cottages. They are happy to play with the guests, help with chores and show you their daily lives.
Ben and The Girls share a birthday, so everyone got birthday cheese cakes!
You will see Mokko and Doret's four older sons coming and going about their business. They are Juna, Moshi (Everton), Fari (Neville) and Coppy (Ian).
The family can show you the river and the best swimming and fishing holes. They know the plants, birds, wildlife and roots culture. They can take you through their Jamaican community. You can visit a Jamaican Primary School or other areas of interest. We really enjoyed their company.
Who feels it, knows it.

Doret has a condition called "elephantitis" resulting from lymphatic filariasis or "worm in the leg". The question came up about danger to travelers and you can read the Center for Disease Control's recommendations here. In brief, it is a worry only with prolonged stays in the endemic areas. It is easily killed with simple antibiotics.
