Tell Us Your Good Deed
I spent 9 days in the Dominican Republic with a group called Jersey G.O.E.S. (Group of Extraordinary Students). We took part in the Village Mountain Mission Project and began work on three houses in the village of Luperon. Along with building a physical home, we built bonds with the families we worked with and created relationships that overcame all boundaries of socioeconomic class, nationality, and language.
Why are you participating?
Diversity is the most interesting aspect about everything we do as human beings. No matter who you're with, the people around you will always have at least one thing that makes them unique. These differences should be embraced and shared with the world, not shut down and suppressed.
