As I sit here and look out my window the snow falls. Hard to believe that the week passed so quickly. So many thoughts are running through my mind. It was an incredible experience that I would take again in a heart beat. I have a whole new perspective on life, and I am grateful to live in a Country where poverty isn't as common as other places. I got to see a lot of things while I was volunteering my time at Outreach 360 in the Dominican Republic but the thing that stood out the most was the smiles from everyone. Every time you said hola, smiled or even waved you would get some sort of positive response in return. In Canada we just don't do that. If you said hi to a stranger here on the street you would probably get a weird look. Looking back now at this trip it was an amazing learning experience not only for the children we taught but for myself as well!
