a thankyou
If you are reading this, then you probably were one of the people who helped make this trip happen. This trip was the most amazing experiance in my life. The children were so beautiful and wonderful. The work was extreemly hard, but it was so rewarding and it felt so good at the end of the day. It was so rewarding to be able to speak spanish to everyone and talk to them about Jesus . I made some of the most wonderful friends. The pastor of the church we worked at for the first part of the week even invited me to live with them in order to go to school in the DR. I am excited that this might become a reality for me. My biggest hope would be to go to school in the town, work at the church and the orphanage and travel to the camp on the weekends to continue the work that we started.
Right now I am trying to collect shoes for the children there, because there were so many barefooted. I am also sending clothes and trying to find more things to do. This trip has helped to solidify my hope to do humanitarian work for the rest of my life, and has jump-started my passion to do something about the conditions that people are living in around the world. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I know that if you had the time and the money to go, that you would. Unfortunatly, careers begin and families grow, and the work to be done is here. I thank you for sending me, for through me you have done the most amazing work.
Here are our leaders:
Liz McAlpine - at the resort in the smallest possible life jacket and lead us from Grand Valley.
Greg Hensley - who works for CareForce International and coordinated the trip.
Christian Santiago and his son Leo - who just moved with his wife from Grand Rapids with a call from God and without enough money. He now leads us from the town that the work is done in.
I hope you enjoy the photos and that they show you what you did for the people of Los Alcarrizos and Bonao, Dominican Republic.
