We are here and we are happy!

We had a long travel day on Saturday, but everything went smoothly.  The highlight was when JetBlue let us check all 60 of our duffel bags full of meds, comfort dolls and shoes for free!  We had a sweet reunion with our Dominican hosts at the airport and arrived at Casa Pastorale, our dorm for the week, by 8p.m.  After dinner, we spent our evening unpacking and organizing all our supplies and then turned in for a good night's sleep.  Sunday will be our first trip to a batey, an afternoon of food kit packing and visiting the founder of the project's church.

    So glad your travels were easy--though schlepping 60 duffels would be a job! Best wishes as you engage in real ways there. Wishing strong hearts and lots of stamina to all of you.
