Immigration day 5

Hey!!!! it is Camilla and Carla for our day 5 blog!! Today we had to wake up earlier than we ever had before at…6 am!!! Although it was early, we woke up on time and made it to the bus somewhat on time. After a 3-hour car ride, with a pit stop in between, we arrived at our first destination where we had a guest speaker Dr. Reginal Kreolle inform us about immigration and the Batyes. He told us about the struggles that impacted the communities with little to no healthcare and all he has accomplished with others to help bring these communities the help they deserve. Afterwards, we checked in to our beautiful Santorini-inspired hotel! We had the most beautiful view of the ocean outside our windows. We then walked safely to the beach, thankfully because our amazing leaders, where all the fun began! During our 3 hours on the beach, which felt like a lot longer, we played volleyball in the water, had ice cream, listened to Dominican music, played mermaids, and soooo much more!!! We then went back to our hotel and had some more fun in the water by going in the hotels pool overlooking the beautiful, refreshing ocean. After a long day of swimming and jamming out to Dominican music, we concluded our day with a delicious dinner (we both had a chicken ceasar salad YUM) overlooking the vast ocean. Gratefully, we had the opportunity to call our loved ones, catching up with all we have missed and what we all have been up to. All the Glimpsers to hear their loved ones! And now as we write this blog, we are still overlooking the ocean lol but this time with lightning over the top! Shout out to Luz, Luis, Mickey, and Tiane for all the support today in our leadership day. We could not have asked for better leaders, love you all!
