Several young men from the University of Rochester's Sigma Chi fraternity came to Don Juan the first week in January to paint the homes of very poor Dominican families. 
These families do not have the money to buy paint to paint their houses on their own.
To maintain one's house painted and decorated is an important sense of pride for Dominican families.
Alicia Manteiga, our then volunteer from the Peace Corp, together with Fr. Brian Cool, faculty adviser of the fraternity, headed up the work detail.
