Dominican Republic

I had the opportunity to go to the Dominican Republic with Children of the Nations and see our ministry site and the school there. I was excited to see the work that we are doing in another country. It's amazing to me how we have a global family and that I was welcomed by the staff in the DR simply because I was part of the USA staff for COTN.

The whole time that I was in the DR, I was comparing and contrasting it to Sierra Leone. There are many things that are different, but things that are the same. It was good for me to be able to step outside of the normal, Sierra Leone, and think about what Children of the Nations is trying to do from a place that is not quite so normal.

Lots more pictures and reflections hopefully soon to come... (although not so good at being consistent with the blog these days)

Just love kids no matter what country they are in.

Using a big book to teach reading!

So cute!

Our COTN-DR staff. Great group of people.
