Costumes for the 10th grade Expedition Night
We have made many friends this week and have had such a great time immersing ourselves in the Dominican Culture. Yesterday after school, a group of 8th grade students invited the youth of our team to join them for some fun at the river. We have learned during our stay that a common recreation for the people of Jarabacoa is to gather at the river to swim, play, and cook out. Our youth found the river to be full of activity and excitement. They enjoyed floating with the current and socializing with their new friends. While there, they came across several Doulos students of various ages.
Today is our last day at the Doulos Discovery School. We are all busy putting the final touches on the playground, sewing costumes, and tying up loose ends. We are full of mixed emotions about leaving the school to return home tomorrow. Although we are dreaming of long, hot showers and the bathroom facilities we are accustomed to, we also share a similar sadness knowing that we will soon be saying good-bye to our many new friends.
