D.R. Thank-You Notes Are Here!
|
| Scholarship Thank-You Notes Posted |
The thank-you notes from the children in the Episcopal K-8 school in our mission field in the Dominican Republic have arrived and have been scanned and posted online. For the 2018-2019 academic year, we and our mission partners donated 89 scholarships, or $31,150, to the Episcopal school in El Pedregal. To see these notes, click here.
As of December 13, 14 missioners have signed up for the 2019 mission team to the Dominican Republic. That team is limited to 18 people because of the size of the in-country transportation we use. If you are interested in joining the team, check the information on the planning page here and contact Julia or Julius Ariail as soon as you can. Their contact information is on that trip planning page.
