Every week we had a similar schedule including the following endeavors: work projects to serve the needy, visiting those that live at the dump and the sick in the hospital, spending a day with a family in the community, VBS, cultural safari, and an afternoon at the beach. (I hope this busy schedule will excuse my lack of blogging, sorry!) Each team brought a different talent with them and all were able to have a big impact here on the north coast. We hope that they were blessed as much as we were to have them here.
The interns were amazing! I can speak from personal experience that the internship is a challenging and rewarding job. As an intern you help lead the group while striving to build relationships with the Dominicans we work with everyday. This year our interns not only survived the summer, they really thrived! We are full of joy when we think of how much they grew and hope they will continue to stay involved with the work here in the DR.
