This morning on the bus ride to pick up the elementary kids we saw the sugars cane workers cutting, loading and weighing the stalks of sugar cane. Most of the students fathers work in the sugar cane fields.

This morning the 1-5th graders were back for “English Camp”

(Gina’s sponsor kids update) Jason, the president of Freedom went back out to 2 bataya’s and found our sponsored girls. They have not been at school yet this week due to summer break and “camps” not being required. Jason found Bebé had moved to a new house in another Bataya and Genesis was visiting an Aunt also in another Bataya. Thankfully, we were able to have them here today and love on them. It is amazing to see how much they have changed and grown up. They also speak complete sentences in English!!! Woohoo!

This afternoon we had Bible camp. It was really HOT out in the open field!! The kids competed in a relay race on an obstacle course. Most of us have also memorized and acted out our memory verse for the show on Friday!

It’s been a very busy day here in the DR. We are all headed to bed soon!
