A day to remember

Today has by far been the best day of the trip! I followed a health promoter, along with 3 other classmates, through the community of Hato July. All of the families in that area like in homes which they made themselves, some out of wood, the nicer ones out of concrete blocks. We met one family in particular who we helped sweep up the floors and the guys chopped some wood. The woman of the house allowed me to try on one of her dresses and ended up asking me to choose one to keep as a rememberance. I was extrememly touched by the experience and amazed to see how generous and welcoming these people were, even though they had almost nothing themselves. I will definitely remember this encounter my entire life.
