Spring Break

Not that the Dominican Republic has a Spring break in March, but we have been really lucky to see the effects of it; we have had volunteers visiting the Centre every week; taking time from vacations and family to spend the day with us. We have enjoyed everyone who has visited, and the kids just love new people and making new friends. We have had people visiting from all over - the States and Canada. Here are a few photos from some of our adventures this month.


This is Mary Ann with her new sponsor child, Camili.






Morgan helping some of the girls swim at our Pizza/Pool party sponsored by one of the younger Girls sponsors - Thank you Lori Howatt!


Karena and Justin playing basketball with the boys - one of their favourite activities!




Faye with her new sponsor child, Dorka.




Thank you to everyone who has joined us these past few weeks; we could not run our Centre without volunteers. If you or anyone you know is interested in a volunteer experience in the Dominican Republic or Haiti, please contact Melissa Bazely at volunteer@dovemissions.org. Hope to see you soon!
