Midnight Breakfast Fundraiser!

Last night myself and two other group members had a midnight breakfast in Residence. The response was great! The students wanted to know what we were doing while we were going to be in the Dominican and many of them who did not want a midnight snack donated money and told us that they wanted to because it was for a good cause!  We had another student donate money because her friend was over in the Dominican and she knew how hard it was to raise the funds to go! It was a great night and we had numerous chances to educate the students on what the trip was all about!

Only one more month!

I can't believe that in one month myself and twenty other Algonquin students will be heading to the Dominican to teach English at an Orphanage!! I am SO excited for this trip; not only for this experience but to also get to know my other team members just that much more! I can't wait for the memories I am going to make and the stories I will be able to share!!!

Just around the corner...

A month from today we embark on an incredible journey that will leave a long lasting impression on many different people including ourselves.  This is real, this happening, we ARE making a change!
