We started our day going to meet the children in La Romana that were in desperate need of soccer jerseys! Lily had collected 70 jerseys and we were able to give them all out!!! They were perfect! Amazing to see all our friends and our soccer shirts going to good use!!
Our next stop was delivering bubbles and 90 pairs of Flip Flops to the Family AIDS clinic. The bubbles and flip flops are going to be given to the children as part of their Christmas presents! We met up with Centro Romano Rotarians to give this donation.
Next stop was two schools to deliver flip flops. This is where Lucy was in her glory! She kept telling me how awesome and wonderful it was to be with the children at school. She was ecstatic when she went into the fifth grade class and they were learning English. Lucy started speaking to the class and asking questions! She gave all the girls in the class rainbow loom bracelets and each of the 4 classrooms a jump rope!
After lunch we went to Batey 105 and Batey Brador to distribute more flip flops! In total today, we passed out 400 pairs of flip flops, 70 soccer shirts, 12 jump ropes, 24 rainbow loom bracelets and 72 bottles of bubbles! And what we received back were hundreds of smiles, hugs, and sincere THANK YOU's! Not bad for a day's work!
Again, none of this would be possible without the help of some very special people! We had the assistance of Daniel, Fernando, and Jeisy from the Good Samaritan Hospital, Marta Victoria from the Centro Romano Club, and several other members of her club assisting at the Clinic! Of course a huge thank you to Lucy, my parents and Chris for getting all of the flip flops on all the little and big feet today!
Outstanding!!! Bueno Dia!
