The Journey is Over for Now

This trip is one that I will always remember. The connections and friendships that I gained from the trip were worth it all! I gained a wealth of knowledge and look forward to sharing my experience with others.




You guys were awesome! 


I love my Warren County crew!


I had never seen a drive in Airport. 







Puerto Plata

What a difference between this and our previous stop. It made us appreciate the good things in life. 



Warm water!










Time for a quick swim!





A great way to end the journey. It was really amazing to hear from each person. What a wonderful experience.

The Schools

The school visits made me realize how good we have it and to appreciate our resources. It was also amazing how much the students and teachers appreciated what they had and did not have the entitlement attitude that we see in our world. 









We complain because we want LED lights!

Water Fountain


Work Table





Made me very thankful for what we have.

OFF THE GRID!!!!

I had never slept under a net before

Another day in their life




The river was beautiful.



I enjoyed getting to know the group and hearing the stories


I tried this but, this old body is not what it was once before!



I was amazed by what these people had done with the very limited resources they had. Touring the farm was my one of my favorite parts of the visit. Brought back my Agriculture teaching day memories.





I will never forget the nice flat hike to the waterfall.


My room mates.



We made it! An experience I will never forget.



We are out of here!


Short Delay! I never thought they would push this bus out of the mud.
