Friends, thank you for visiting our blog to keep up with the trips.

Our trip to Dominican Republic was for 2 weeks, but, we ended up staying a month to finish fencing the property. As you can see in the picture we invited all the children. We gave away coloring books, over 150 of them, played games and just laughed together.

Something that really touched me was, a couple of them saw me packing-up to leave and they asked "Jorge are you leaving? We are going to miss you!" That really touched my heart and reminded me that all the work, the sweat that goes into helping the poor and children is worth it. Yes, at times it does get lonely. Since we are only 2 years old, we can't afford to take other volunteers with me. At times it does get over whelming, but again, I would not trade what i do for all the money in the world, and I know some day soon we will be blessed, and be able to take a team.

The second picture is the home we built and donated last year. I painted it in this recent trip. For the first time the kids that live in this home were smiling. So thank you once again sponsors, because of you, we are able to go and do what we do!

Jorge and Team
