Day 1 - Traveling to the Dominican Republic!

Hey everyone, it's Julia!

From a hardy start to everyones morning at 3:45AM, to navigating through an action-packed airport, our DR team this year had a great day of travel and fun! 

This is my first time on this trip and even though naps were needed throughout the day (whether that be on the plane or buses), we made it through with smiles on our faces!



After each of us spent the day carrying TWO 50 pound bags of donations and necessities, made our way through bag checks, TSA, and bus rides, we finally got to La Romana, and I'm so excited to see what tomorrow brings us all! 

 
 

Hey everyone, it's Gaby! 

This is my third time coming on this trip and landing in Santo Domingo was so exciting! After getting through customs and out of the airport, we loaded two busses with all the bags and off we went to La Romana!  



The drive to the compound was beautiful and we reconnected with our friends Café and Carlos on the way! 

Once we arrived in La Romana, we reunited with our other friends Emilio and Tata who had our delicious dinner for us. 

We had Paella, salad, rice, and cherry chocolate cake. 


We spent the rest of the night unpacking and sorting meds to prepare for the medical clinic we will host tomorrow.








We are all very excited to see what is in store for this week! Thanks for reading and stay tuned for the blog post tomorrow to read about our first work day! 🤗🇩🇴
