The tourism side of the country is very easy to find but the poverty is not far from view. One of the projects we visited focuses on Haitian immigrants. It's so hard for them there. Their own country doesn't want them to return and their adopted country doesn't recognise them. There is such a stark difference between the two countries on the same island. The deforestation has had such a devestating effect on Haiti. Apple, it’s great to hear from someone who has seen the conditions in Dominican Republic.

As always God is our portion & protector. Well done to you and the team and also to the Compassion workers who do such a fantastic job out there where it really counts. God bless. Helen.
