Photos from the Dominican Republic

A few snapshots from my time in the Dominican Republic

The mound of rock at the beginning (this was later replaced with equally large mounds of sand and gravel and more rock)

 Over half of the new dinning room floor filled with a layer of rock about a foot deep

 Moving the rock to fill the base layer of the floor

 Moving the cement to put on top of the base layer of the floor (and whilst I am posing here with an empty wheelbarrow I did actually move many wheelbarrow loads filled with cement!)

 Making and moving cement

Resting after a long days work


Finished foundation and floor of the dinning room extension

 Owansa (Bible teaching day) games
 

Bus that transported us everywhere!

Dominican Republic military practising parachuting as we drove to Villa Ascension

 With the girls club in Agros Negras

Having my nails done to allow the girls to practise on real clients


Front of the hotel where we stayed

(This hotel was much better than I expected, however, we shared our room with a mouse, a rat and a cockroach at various times)
