Cornell Hockey Team visit

Cornell hockey team members Greg, Cole, Kevin, Nick, Justin, and Andy, their coach, Mike Schafer, with his sons John and Luke and supporter, Scott Howard, arrived on May 21^st. Tony Eisenhut with his daughter Emily (who arrived a day later) and her friend Lauren also traveled to the DR at the same time to work on a project that they had raised the money to build.

 Their project was to begin construction on one building with a chapel for mass and parish events as well as a classroom/meeting room in the community of Bosque Arriba. Both of the facilities will function as hurricane shelters.

 The distance to the local school is quite far for the little ones in the area of the new chapel. Our hope is to establish preschool and 1st grade classes for them at the new facility.

 In four days they raised four walls, much to the surprise of our Dominican contractors. This group did lots of hard work in a short time.

After four days of work, the group relaxed on the beach on Saturday and Sunday, a treat which they greatly deserved.
