A Great Week with Freed-Hardeman

Saturday, March 14, our first spring break group arrived. They are from Freed-Hardmen University. We had a terrific week together. The group put on a VBS in three locations, painted a house, laid the foundation for a new playground at the Children's Home, mixed and poured cement to pave an entire courtyard for a struggling school in Rio San Juan, visited the people in the hospital and those that live in the dump, played lots of soccer and spent a day with a Dominican family. We were very impressed by this group's work ethic, ability to love the Dominicans, and encouragement that they brought to us. We hate to see them go today but, are so thankful they came!
