Day 10

Today was a day full of driving. We went through the same morning routine and headed off in the bus. We went to 3 different schools today. It was nice to be able to see what Edudeo has helped accomplish over the years and it was great for those who have come more than once to see the schools they had worked on in the past and catch up with friends they had made. The last one was one run by Maria Laura and it was built to help the mentally and physically disabled children who are kicked out of the public schools due to their disability. They have I think 62 students there now and it's a very small school. The plan is to build them a bigger school in the future to accommodate for the growth of the school. After getting a tour of the school and a walk through the neighbourhood we headed off to Maria Laura's moms house for lunch. We were served a tasty stew with rice. We all sat and chatted for a few hours and left at around 2:30 to go home. Once we were home a few of us took naps while others chatted and played some games. Once it reached 6ish we all went to Guillermo's for dinner. Him and his family prepared a very good supper for us with mashed potatos and plantains, salad, pork, and dessert. After many laughs and good food we did devotions and then Guillermo and Franklin presented us all with presents from CoCref. :) They thanked us but we thank them for taking such good care of us and providing us with plenty of food and a nice place to stay and for all their hard work they do in the Dominican. We headed home and got there at about 9:30ish. A bunch of us caught up with family and friends and others just relaxed after the long day. Most people packed up all our things and got ready for the long day of travelling we've got coming.
