On our first day, my group and I thought about the work we would accomplish this trip. As we approached our first working site, we saw the conditions of the community that we were about to change due to our help. From cementing the walls, to playing soccer with the kids, we learned the importance of coming together to enjoy each other’s company while creating a better environment for the inhabitants of the community. It was worth the sweat and the hustle because of the positive contribution that the clinic we helped build today and the integral role it will provide to the community as a whole. With all of our helping hands, we were able to continue the work that past GLA students began in order to create a healthy surrounding and relationship between the center and the people. In the future, this center will hopefully alter the health care standards provided in the Dominican Republic. It was a great privilege for us to interact with the kids, workers, and community workers. The work that the Haitian-Dominican Center does on a daily basis is admirable and will echo for generations to come.
