All 21 students arrived safely, if a bit tired, into Santo Domingo this evening. Williams Velez, our Dominican Program Assistant, joked with some students that they look nothing like their photos, which we use to learn their names prior to arrival

We stopped on the way to the hotel for a special pica pollo dinner. And after a brief orientation at the hotel, almost everyone enjoyed a refreshing swim in the pool.

We'll be starting bright and early tomorrow morning with our orientation and then students will meet their host families in the evening.

It's so good to be starting this adventure together.
