November 2010 marks the first Watkinson service trip to the Dominican Republic. We have 23 travelers this year who will spend a week in La Romana and travel daily to the bateys to set up medical clinics and food distribution using funds we have raised in Connecticut for the service work. It is our hope to build an ongoing relationship with the people in and around La Romana and it is our intention that this be the first of many yearly travel service trips to the Dominican Republic.

Packing Night
We had a very successful packing night. All of the meds, shoes, toys and clothes donated by students, teachers and friends of Watkinson School fit in 23 bags. There are 19 of us flying out tomorrow morning and four more flying to the D.R. on Monday. The four arriving Monday will bring 4 more bags. Our goal tomorrow is to sweet talk the Jet Blue check in agent to let us take the 5 extra bags without charging us the fees! We will let you know how we make out.
