First of all, thank you for all your help in making the April mission trip to Caminante a success.
The April mission trip was educational in nature. Five participants from four Disciples churches took six suitcases with supplies to donate to baseballs, toothpaste and toothbrushes, clothing, cosmetology and craft supplies.
The Disciples visited four homework rooms where they did a craft project (God’s Eyes) with the children and gave toothpaste and toothbrushes to all in attendance. One participant did electrical repairs.
They made coconut jewelry with Haitian children and visited La Casona, the vocational school. They visited the capital city of Santo Domingo and spent time with Sister Denisse and her staff learning about the various ministries of Caminante.
The group visited a school, about an hour north and east of Boca Chica. Its basketball court was unusable and in disrepair. The Region would like to raise money to repair the backstop and net and buy basketballs. Sister Denisse agreed this was a worthwhile fundraising project for the Oklahoma Region.
