This morning a team of 10 people hopped on planes from Washington, Oregon, California, Kansas, Indiana, and Nebraska with a destination of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. That team of 10 people are all set to embark on a journey through the Dominican Republic to help build homes for families in the town of San Juan de la Manguana. We couldn't be more excited to partner with the great people at Habitat para la Humanidad Republica Dominicana.
After long, but smooth flights... We arrived!!! The first group arrived around 3pm and the second around 9pm. We were warmly greeted by our amazing host coordinator Natalie at the airport and taken to Hotel Mercure in La Zona Colonial, Santo Domingo. The group that had been volunteering the week before us was at the hotel and a few of us were able to meet them and get some tips and tricks for the upcoming week. We had our first team dinner together, began to get to know one another over authentic Dominican food and flan and fresh fruit dessert.., but were soon off to catch some much needed Z's. It was a great first day... Stay tuned for what's in store for the next week!
