On the surface, the Sherlocks of Point Pleasant Beach seem to be just like any other family — Jimmy Sherlock can often be seen running various errands around town, while his wife, Patty, picks up their two youngest sons, Jimmy Jr., 11, and Jason, 10 — from G. Harold Antrim Elementary School.
But on Oct. 12, the Sherlocks embarked on a rather extraordinary family adventure — a mission trip to Africa, where the Sherlocks and a team of volunteers will deliver meals, school supplies, clothing and a variety of other donated goods to needy families in and around Nairobi, Kenya.
During the family’s one-month stay in Africa, the Sherlocks and their team will document their experiences with photos, videos and blog entries.
