Happy 17th birthday to Jimmy Petras!

We spent our morning unpacking all the meds, shoes and toys we brought with us. All of our 47 duffle bags needed to be unpacked, brought to the main room (dining hall) where we congregate. It is controlled chaos at its best.


After lunch a group of us took a walk around La Romana. Then the whole team traveled to see Pilar and Francisco, an elderly couple that lives alone out in the midst of miles and miles of sugar cane.

  1. Happy Birthday, Jimmy!! It is amazing to see all the donations spread out and the hustle and bustle of the team!! I think I saw my vitamins on the table:) Keep up the great work. Hope you find a lax team thriving thanks to Emma's work! Jake, we missed you at the biome test! And finally, Mr. Bracker...I'll wrangle our advisor group and get all those Turkey Drive donations down for the pick-up...of course after bribing the group with tea and hot chocolate!

    Wishing you lots of energy!

  2. Nice blog. It is wonderful to hear about your travels; makes me nostalgic for the excitement of the people there and the work you will be able to do.
