Some interesting facts about the DR

      3 weeks into the new year and we have our first group here, Joshua Wilderness Camp from Hume

Dinner with Maribel, Abigail and Raquel.

Ca, for two weeks and we always look forward to having them join us. We also are enjoying Fritz and Kris Bontrager from Shipshewana, Dana and Caleb Bontrager from Goshen/Middlebury. They are here helping out with a few projects and working in the social work site.
      One thing I thought may interest some of you is how much some things cost here.
