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.

Thursday, Happy Thanksgiving
This is an overview of our medical clinic at Batey Lagina. We saw 88 patients today, the most we have treated in one day. The hardest thing we encountered was not having enough food kits for the residents there. After the med clinic, we picked up the construction team at the hospital and had a tour. The day's highlight was visiting an orphanage in La Romana. It was an unforgettable experience and one of the most joyful hours I have spent in the last decade of my life.
