Hi (from Rachel)
We didn't blog in a while so here is the stuff we did. we all went skating in carouge and the ice is bad there but still it was fun. it was a set up rink, and they will take it down once the season ends, which is hard to believe because the area is so nice. we also went to baltimore to see our friends and the dominican republic to help make a school better. this including painting, gardening, and constructing. we have been back in geneva for 2 weeks now but it took half that to get off jetlag.
More on DR (from Sean): We will try to be more consistent with these postings, but here are a few pictures from our time in the Dominican Republic, working with the Kass-Hecht gang, and a lot of local folks, to make some an improvements to an already lovely school that was about an hour outside of Santo Domingo (in a town called Cambita Garabitos). I think there was a lot more worked involved in making the arrangements that allowed all of us to spend our time doing something that felt worthwhile, than there was in actually doing it. But it was amazing to see how enthusiastic and durable all of the kids were with their paiting, clearing, digging, planting, etc.
Molly is also going to add a new post about the DR with some of her photos.
Really pleased to see your latest blog. You mentioned Baltimore and Dominican Republic. I'd enjoy hearing about what you did in each place. Who did you see, meet, do, feelings about each.......
ReplyDeleteI would so love to come visit you all in Geneva, I miss you so much. I'm thinking possibly of coming to visit late April. What to you think and what dates are good for you? Love and hugs and heart and more, Nana
