ReplyDeleteSome of you know how proud I am of you all for having the courage and heart to participate in this type of service in my parent´s native country. I hope for you all the best and thank you. I wanted to share with you the following website that my Spanish AP students visited this past week to learn more about the bateys. I find it to be well done and should remind you that you are a part of history. Also, feel free to ask your student trip leaders about the history and culture of the DR;>
