One of our tasks while in the DR was giving water filters to families who otherwise would not have clean water. Here, one of the girls and the Missionary Craig are putting in a water filtration system. I imagine that we gave out about 30 of these in a nearby village called La Rinconada. It costs $60 for this and it provides clean water for 10 years. All they have to do is provide the bucket.
Here is one of our favorite friends that we met in the village in which we stayed. His name is Mudo. I assume he is around 8 years old. He is both deaf and mute and showed all of us what a true servant is like. He always made funny faces for pictures, but he has one of the widest smiles I've ever seen. I cannot wait to see him again in July.
One day, our job was to paint the church green. We brought all of the paint supplies and painted both the inside and the outside of the church and stained the swing set one morning.
I think these are houses that are in Quisqueya, the town to which I will be moving. The school that I'll be living at (Emanuel House) has kids from the poorest neighborhoods in the town. These are typical living conditions. We got to visit on Tuesday.

We set up tents in the church or slept under mosquito nets. This a a quick view of what the inside of the church looked like.
