While it's true, the Dominican has a reputation for looking like this.....
Where we are headed looks a whole lot more like this.....
Mark and I are going, along with Chiropractors with Compassion, to the capital of the Dominican Republic- Santo Domingo. We are going to see the completion of the previous project in 2008 and to witness the start of our next one.
We are excited for SO many different reasons...
1- we get to see our sponsor kid again!! We've met him once before and have been sponsoring him for the past 2 years. His name is Randy Henrry and we love that kid like crazy!
2- we've recently "acquired" a beautiful 7 year old girl named Mari Yennifer. We are so looking forward to meeting her! (I might have gone a little overboard with my purchases in the hair accessory department for this little one- I couldn't help myself)
3- we are able to see what the last project looks like all finished!! When we were there 2 years ago, we were literally caring bricks to lay the foundation of the new centre. Now it's up and running and the community is changing from the inside out!!
4- we made several friends that we have kept in contact with over time and can't wait to see them again.
What a way to spend Thanksgiving!!
I'll keep updating, here and on facebook, as often as I can.
See you when we get back!!
Adios Amigos!!!
