Welcome to DR Ja1A-CHi

Hey!! Chicago is in Da house!!
We’re happy to share that all our students from Chicago have arrived safely in the Dominican Republic! ✈️🌴 All flights were on time, and although everyone’s a bit sleepy, spirits are high and excitement is in the air.

Right now, we’re settling into our hotel in Santiago to get some well-deserved rest before kicking off our adventure.
Students will be contacting home today at 10 am (EST) after breakfast, so expect a call soon!

Stay tuned — the journey is just beginning!

May their respective individual & collective experiences be life changing. Changes that can/will lead them towards always seeking to grow & develop into the best human being they desire to become. As I desire this for my daughter, Sumaiyah Juarez-Demery, as she experiences another cultural reality & world view.

Paige Goldthorpe’s grandfather with a 40 year history of work in Haiti. Sure wish we could plan an adventure there but unfortunately, not in the foreseeable future. Wishing you all a wonderful trip and safe travels. Harry.
