Yesterday we had a 4th of July fiesta with our friends volunteering here from Seattle Pacific University. The Dominican COTN staff also joined in with our barbecue and pool party. There were so many burgers, hot dogs, french fries, and delicious guanavana juice. Michael took a lot of epic action shots at the pool. It was a great time.
There is so much to do and to explore here in Barahona. The blue beaches are picturesque and the mountains, complete with their fields of coffee plants, are beautiful. There is even a town called Polo Magnetico, where the magnetic field on the hillside is strong enough to pull our van uphill!
It has been a joy to work in the villages with COTN. English and music classes are going well and the kids are very energetic and fun to work with. n Friday Shane’s team in the I Love Baseball program won their game! We are excited to begin summer school programs next week and to continue working in our classes and sports programs.
