Monique and our friend Bethany (see pictured with Carly W.) were blessed to serve as intern leaders for COTN's intern program in the Dominican Republic. The young women, Carly, Olivia, Julia and Laura lived with Dominican families for their 8 weeks in country. Here is a little more info. on this program.
The 8-week Global Internship Program is a hands-on, cultural immersion opportunity for students 18 to 24 years old to serve for eight weeks during June, July and August. As an intern, you will work and interact daily in COTN villages/bateyes with national staff, other interns, and our children. You can read more about this program here - http://www.cotni.org/pages/intern
Laura and Carly, pictured with health clinic lead nurse Yaneth, helped out in the clinic and also taught hygiene and health classes in the bateys for teen girls. Olivia and Julia, pictured with one of their English classes, taught classes and helped out in the office with staff. One of the growing experience each of these young women had was living with a host family; such an excellent way to be immersed in the culture.
Monique and Bethany led morning devotionals, evening times of sharing and a retreat throughout the summer. It was a wonderful summer for all...growing in trusting God and others. Our Ellie and Carly were enriched by the relationships that developed with these young ladies. They also took part in serving alongside them in their ministry. Beautiful! Thanks be to God for all He is doing.
