Here are some shots from Altagracia showing the completed latrines. We are very grateful to the members of COTN that were able to complete the "thrones" in our absence. We see the physical evidence of the work we did but we know that our educational work will more than likely be the most lasting and beneficial accomplishment of our group's adventure this summer in the DR.
We learned a lot ourselves the week we were in the DR. The people of Altagracia taught us the importance of living in community and using everything at hand. Be it wood chips or bottle caps or rebar sticking straight out of a concrete block.
We feel fortunate and privileged to have been able to participate in this trip. It not only gave us hands on experience working but it truly gave us a window into the very heart of a kind and generous group of people.
