Hurry… after a long trip down to the Dominican Republic from B.C. & Ontario, a stop at JFK, and an early landing in the DR- we’re HERE!!!!!!
Everyone got here safe and sound. Most people went swimming, some slept, and others just sat in the sun with their new friends. Dinner is at 6, then off to orientation at 8. First work day starts tomorrow- I cant wait.
Hey Andrew L
Hope you are having a blast and ready to meet and work with the people in DR. It’s very hot here too! Hope you liked your new outfit we threw in your bag for doing In Their Shoes. Don’t forget to write in your journal. Lauren, Benson and Matt are very jealous they are not there with you. We will be keeping everyone at home updated from this website. Work hard and take lots of pictures!
Love Mom and Dad

Hey Andrew L,
You must be thrilled to finally be there. Hope you got some rest for all the awesome work you and all the other kids will be doing. We’re going up the CN Tower on Sat and it just reminds me of how spoiled we are here in Canada but fortunate to have kids like you helping others. Have an awesome week with your new friends from Canada and the DR.
Love ya - Aunt Elaine
