We made it to the Dominican Republic! After some much needed plane naps, everyone seems energetic and excited to be here. In 2 short hours we will finally be at Hogar Immanuel!
After our post fried chicken nap, we got back to work! Some groups helped paint, while others did dishes or continued weeding. And of course, more fun time with the kids! Since tonight is New Year's Eve, we are planning to stay up and ring in the new year with games and lots of snacks! Since we are an hour ahead, we will get to 2019 before you! Happy New Year!
Since today is Sunday, we put on our Sunday best and took some of the children to mass in the Puerto Plata cathedral. Afterwards, we got some ice cream in the city center and then visited the Malecón. This afternoon it looks like we are gonna get dirty, time to paint! Thank you to everyone for your continued support!
Happy New Year!!! This morning it was time to go across the street and clean up the local park. A lot of the neighborhood kids play in the park but unfortunately it tends to get overrun with trash. Afterwards, we touched up some paint to give it that finishing touch. A lot of the neighborhood kids came out and helped too! Now it's time for lunch!
