Our third day of ‘regular’ camp activities – like Ordinary Time for Catholics, it’s comforting to be in a routine. Although each girl is unique, most are showing progress in math, English, and the other activities.









Stations today
Not many camp activity pictures today – we did take an individual picture of each girl for their frames (see yesterday).
We had three great visitors who make us believe we’re supporting an effective program through camp:
- Fernanda and her boyfriend came for a visit. She’s studying information sciences. Her boyfriend is studying tourism and is working at a resort this summer. They brought sugar cane and helped me prep a craft while we visited.
- Gizelle and Alondra also stopped by together. Gizelle is studying agriculture on a scholarship at the university in Azua and is living with her grandmother, which is a win-win. Alondra is studying education and plans to be an elementary school teacher!
All three girls looked healthy and happy. Sorry, didn’t get good pictures, though.
At the end of the day, at circle time, we got to see the skits and reflected on the day. Finally, we prayed for various people who’ve supported campamento and the home:
- Reverend Richard Jacobsen who introduced the Hogar to St. Edward’s after he donated a well for them.
- The anonymous donors who recently donated a reverse-osmosis filtration system, so we get potable water from that well.
- The anonymous donor who donated an automated, secure gate for the property.
- The young professionals who led the airport tour.
Thank you for reading and your support!
