A day with the Kids



we arrived in the DR the first of the month. For the first 2 weeks, we spent at different sites around the island. We spent a day at Palo Blanco, where caitlin sat in on some classes, and I helped Jon with sports class. Jon has done a great job. He said when he started the kids had ablsolutely no idea how to have an organized activity. You really don't know the importance of organized activities untill you are in a culture that you can see the effects of the people in the way they interact with each other and how they live their lives. It's pretty interesting to watch the change in these kids lives even in something as small and seemingly unimportant like P.E. class.
