Video Numero Tres

Here is our third video! It is footage from when the students and chaperones lived with Mateo and Monika Lafonde. Students were part of a typical Dominican family for a week and taught at a local school. Living conditions were different than at the Ministry Centre where we stay. There was one bathroom and no working shower. The six girls shared two beds and the boys were all on foam mattresses on the floor. They were stretched. Being stretched is good.

Mateo and Monika are movers and shakers. Mateo is the president of the board that oversees over two hundred Christian Reformed Churches in the Dominican Republic. Monika is the president of the Ladies society and organizes conferences for over two hundred women at a time. They´re pretty much awesome.

Val has written a blog about it which I am unable to post until I get back to the other base. Until then, enjoy whatever details I´ve been able to provide!
