On Saturday the team from Chicago arrived in the Dominican Republic. After cramming all the luggage and supplies they brought, as well as 9 people, into the 9 person van we headed out to Hato Mayor where the team is spending the week serving the community.
On Sunday we had a chance to walk around the community where the ARRAS school is located. We got to meet and talk with the people (doing our best at Spanish), play a little with the kids, and when it started to rain multiple families enthusiastically invited into their humble homes to take refuge from the pouring rain. The hospitality we are being shown is humbling.
The team is now working on getting the school ready to start on Friday. This includes purchasing and putting in the toilets and sinks as well as other items needed to get the building ready. We are also organizing donated items at Sofia’s house, as well as youth activities and programs. We have already built some amazing relationships and cannot wait to see what else God has in store for our team and the community of Hato Mayor.
