HOLA!

I apologize for being so late! The first couple days have been busy and the internet... well its slower than a turtle in a snowstorm :)

Anyways! Lets begin... the first few days in Toronto felt long as we were impatiently waiting for everybody to arrive. We had our orientation with everbody and everything was going great. We were making friends fast and looking forward to meeting the rest of the gang from BC. We met them in JFK after they waited countless hours for us to arrive from Buffalo.

We arrived at Sosua by the Sea around 430 and everybody was exhausted! Many people hit the showers, their beds, or the BEACH. It wasn't until two days ago that things started to pick up. We finally met our teams and headed off to the awareness tour. My team is a school from BC, many students just graduated while others are heading into grade 12.

The awareness tour took us to old sites that we worked on as well as ones we will be starting this week. The most interesting was seeing a house build that we started last year. And by started I mean we tore it down. The finish product looks amazing and got me excited for this week as we are doing three new housebuilds!

My favourite part was seeing my friends from last year... both the Canadians and the Dominicans! All my big-brown eyed friends returning with huge smiles across their faces is the best feeling I could ask for.

My next couple blogs will be a little more "intense" with detail based on the workdays.. hurray!!!

Love & Miss you all...
and thank you for the supporttt
