Summary of the trip plus the importance of the supplies, by senior Aaryn Ijames:
While in the Dominican Republic, our group will be helping support the Haitian communities that are experiencing extremely low living conditions. We will be building aqueducts to provide more than 1,400 people in these communities with running water as well as laying cement floors in homes to improve the community's quality of life. The kits are essential to provide the children with school supplies that are otherwise unavailable to them as well as providing hygiene products that they are unable to attain in the Dominican Republic.
The middle school basketball games that are scheduled for today are still on, but the location has been changed from Darlington School to Coosa Middle School. Same time just different location. The players will be transported to the game.

Our goal is to collect 500 stuffed animals. If we make our goal, we will have a dress down day on Friday, November 16.
