vacation Bible school...not for the faint of heart

On August 18, four of us met in Santiago, Dominican Republic for part one of our three part adventure. We spent the first three days helping with a Bible club for 6-14 year olds in the mornings and doing some work projects on a church/preschool that Makarios helps support. The group consisted of Brian Rea, full-time Makarios staff extraordinaire, Kate Clemensen, fearless Makarios board member, Ryan Greene, helpful Austinite "friend of Makarios," and me, Sharla. More details of the trip to come, and hopefully from those I just mentioned. Please feel free to harass them into posting their accounts of our trip if you happen to see them on the street. Pictures will be available shortly.
