Stakes to steaks
Student Trip Blog
Today we woke up at 6 AM not knowing how our day would unravel. We arrived in Sosua and got to experience how the Haitians daily lives were. First, we spoke to one of the leaders of this community, Reginold, he described how people lived, and gave us a tour of the community while the kids followed along to help. We heard the stories of the Haitian kids growing up in the Dominican Republic and the discrimination they face for being Haitian. Later, we arrived at the resort, where we got ready for the beach on this hot day. We had ice cream and fruits for snacks. After the beach we went to the resort’s pool, playing Marco Polo and other water games to bond more as a group. After a long day, we had a family style dinner where we talked about hypothetical’s and life stories.

You’re hilarious Ava ! I’m grateful you are able to get a glimpse of how life unfolds for all folx who live in the DR and can see the parallels to what’s going on here in the USA. The struggle really is real and also universal!

Wow, Day 4 sounded incredible! It’s so beautiful that you all started your morning connecting with the local community learning and listening to the real, lived stories of the Haitian community ~ that’s unforgettable, Ava.
