Here is the family that they built the house for.
Here is a video of photos from the week. Thanks YWAM!
Day 6 - Thursday
Today was spent...building in the morning. For lunch instead of a bagged lunch as they usually had, the woman whose house they were building cooked them a traditional Dominican meal called "la bandera" which means the flag. This is what most Dominicans eat daily and it is white rice, stewed red beans and chicken, either fried or cooked in a sauce. This picture shows how they cooked the meal outside over a fire. Yum!
Part of the group did more sports outreach at a school where they had been spending some time at. The great thing about this trip is that we see the value of spending a lot of time in one area building relationships over more time than a quick 2 hour visit.
Another group went walking through the village talking and visiting with the people door to door.
Day 5 - Wednesday
Today was a short day. The group was getting tired and worn down, so in the afternoon they took it easy. Morning time was spent building. Here are some pictures....
Day 4 - Tuesday
Today they built more of the house and in the afternoon went to a local school in San Pedro to do outreach. After they were done they had some free time to enjoy empanadas and spend a little time in the local town square.
Day 3 - Monday
Today the group started the house construction in the morning and in the afternoon they went to a local school to do a sports camp with the kids. The 5 baseball players went to practice with a local team.
Day 2 - Sunday
Wesleyan School in Norcross, GA arrived yesterday. They are here to build a home, play some baseball and love on some Dominicans. Today they started out with service at our church. Then they had lunch at the malecon (area near the ocean) and then went to a nearby field where we have some relationships to help clean the field and play some baseball. I am sure they will sleep well tonight!
