So good to be back in fabulous La Vega, Dominican Republic. The school year had started before I arrived. Students are settled into their daily routine and teachers are looking forward to seeing the accomplishments of the students.
This semester has a few changes for me. I will be volunteering two days a week at the La Vega Christian School campus. I have the privilege of assisting with the English art program and assisting in the English Learning Center. Additionally, I will be traveling two days a week to teach Conversational English in two schools for Haitian children. My hope is that I will continue to be able to visit and check in with the other 8 schools for Haitian children.
This week I experienced something of a first for me. School classes cancelled due to hurricane and tropical storm conditions. We had so much rain, that for a time, I lived as royalty because of a water filled moat outside the home hindering foot traffic from entering or exiting. Many people have been affected by the damage left from the path of the hurricane and tropical storm conditions.
John will soon be here for a short visit. He is eager to be here and reconnect with the students and our new friends.
