On Tues. and Wed. we had our basketball camp, teaching basketball skills to the guys in the villages (bateyes). After each camp session we took the opportunity to share our life stories with the guys...stories about our walk with God. Manuel Emilio from Altagracia, (pictured here) also shared his life story with us. As you can see, all the guys were riveted and connecting with his story.
Austin and C.J. shared too...which demonstrated that life's challenges aren't unique to different cultures. Austin encouraged the Dominican guys in how they treated Mandy with respect during the camp, and exhorted them to treat the girls in their villages to treat young women in the same way, with honor and respect.
I'm so proud of our team, as they are mixing and building relationships with everyone here. So beautiful to see with my eyes and I hope the photos bring this back to you.
