This week in the Dominican Republic I have helped kids with
sports. Some of the kids are not very good at basketball, but some are very
good. There is this kid named Frailin
who has a great time playing the games and sports, but is not very good. It’s fun to watch him have a great time no
matter what. This trip has made me
realize how fortunate I am, but I think if I was born here I wouldn’t know the
difference. These kids enjoy the little
things and use what they have, like playing baseball on the street with a stick
and rubber ball.

This trip to the Dominican Republic has been an eye-opening
experience. Seeing the kids have a great time playing soccer with an empty
Gatorade bottle is really interesting to watch. It seems like they could have
fun with no matter what materials they have, even if it’s nothing. I feel like
if the people here saw the kind of homes that we live in in America, they would
find them completely unnecessary. A lot of these people live in tiny one to two
room shacks with tin roofs. It really is amazing to see.
