On another day, after about two hours of up-hill rocky driving, my group and I finally reached the house where we began to do our work on renovating their water tanks. As we did with the other villages, the same procedures applied here: mix the cement, smack it against the wall and then smooth it out. However, there were some differences. Unlike the past, we painted the water tanks in a light blue, and on a more surprising note, the members of the village helped us out which really helped expedite the process. The cement mixing that took us 30 minutes at the other villages took us about five with the gentlemens’ help. It was so surprising and encouraging to see that even though these citizens have to do the same work everyday, they will still do whatever it takes to help out others, even when they are not required. That’s what I noticed so far during my trip to the Dominican Republic. No matter what these citizens go for, they always take the obstacle in stride and always try and do whatever they can to fix it. This is one of the things I’m specifically proud of our group for doing; I believe that when we went to the DR, we really cut down on our complaining even though we are forced to adjust to a different lifestyle. For us specifically, it shows how the majority of the world lives and we have realized that we have things people here dream of having and to not take it for granted.
