Don Juan Garden Update

The school garden at Don Juan is maturing well. 

As you can see if these recent photos, the garden is a success! 

 Now the work of the student gardeners is feeding the rest of the students in the school.

School Garden in Don Juan

One of our new programs at the school in Don Juan is teaching the students the art of gardening and raising vegetables.

The Chapel in Bosque Arriba

We recently completed the chapel in Bosque Arriba, a gift this past year from the Cornell Hockey Team.

This is our fifth new chapel and my favorite so far. I think that my construction ability is improving with age.

Christmas and Catching Up

You have not heard much of anything from me because of a wedding and two deaths of family members. As a result, this fall and early winter I traveled back and forth from the Dominican Republic several times. I am just now able to play catch-up here on my blog.

Below are some of the Christmas pictures from the Portal de Belen, Hato Nuevo, and Don Juan Christmas children's celebrations.
