Greetings from Santo Domingo

 Hola Dublin AM Rotary!

We have uploaded photos to our Rotary Flickr page - and will continue to add photos from Santo Domingo.

Today we spent the day with Mission Emanuel in Cielo - a little town outside of Santo Domingo. Rotarians worked with other adults and high school students from Winston Salem, North Carolina to help build a ramp and paint the future boys club at the Mission.

We also got to walk through the town with Harvey and Rita Hook as our guides. The children shouted "Americana" as we walked the streets and ran to hug Harvey as the locals know and love him and Rita. We visited families - many who are captured in these photos. We were touched by their warmth and hospitality. And you too will fall in love with the children whose smiling faces touch your heart.

Our Interact students on the trip - Emily Sharick and Kyle Ritterbeck not only worked hard building the ramp - but were a magnet for the children of Cielo. Kyle, wearing an OSU cap, was quite the young celebrity with the kids.
