Today we went with the Orlando team from Summit Church to all five bateys. It was my first time to visit Pueblo Nuevo, where COTN's school is located high up on a hill above Barahona. The views are spectacular! After hanging out with the kids at each batey, I see that each community is clearly different. The school in Pueblo Nuevo is equipped with a commercial kitchen and a computer lab. Students can come and get some vocational training in this school. The kids engaged with our young people in quite a game of "duck, duck, goose". It was a blast watching them.
In Los Robles, we've seen boys playing with a homemade toy, a bicycle tire with a pushing/steering tool made out of a stick and a jug handle. See picture above. They play with this toy all day long it would appear. They tried to teach one of the guys how to do it and we found out how challenging it is to keep the tire rolling. The boys made it look so easy.
Ellie and Carly are magnets for the girls and they often end up with braided hair. Here are some of their new friends.
We are all back in good health. Thanks for your prayers! I'm hearing about a heat wave in the N.W. Ha! You don't know what heat is (-:
Vic for the fam
