Thank God we are ok.

We were in the midst of hurricane Noel in Santo Domingo and could not reach our town - Juan Santiago. The bridge that connects Santo Domingo with the south part of the country, which includes our project, two bridges colapsed.

In the town of Bani and Azua. Both towns must be crossed to reach our project. 66 dead of being choked by mud or water, 27 have dissappeared. 2,300 families are stranded from there loved ones.

Please, pray for Dominican Republic. It's one thing to hear the stories, but another is to live it like we did. We love the poor. It's our life mission! And i'm personally heartbrokend I could not reach them in this trip.

By the beginning of 08' we should be returning to innagurate the property.

Help us pay it off? We are only $3,800. away.

We had actually bought paint on Saturday when we arrived to paint the Children's Center. It's a 3 bedroom home with a kitchen. and we had also sent to print a large banner, measuring 5 x 10'with the names of every donor that has helped us from the beginning to fulfil this dream, this desire God put in our hearts.

November 11 or so, we will be returning to Colombia.
Trying to establish the model we have done in D.R.
