Week 1 pics

Yay for the first post of the summer from the Dominican Republic! All the interns arrived safely to the Dominican Republic, and are now transitioning to their new life for the summer in Barahona. This first week has been a great time for the interns to become orientated to the life and culture of the Dominican Republic. The scavenger hunt was just one way for the interns to get to know the city, and as you can see in the pictures the interns had to acquire a live chicken and various other items from town. The rest of this week has been spent moving into the host families and preparing for teaching the English classes. This weekend the intens and their host families are going to the beach, so that should be lots of fun. There will be more pictures to come, (they take a long time to upload here), but rest assured that all the intern are thus far safe and having a great time.
