John and Debbie from Indiana came here for the first time.
However, they did not only stay in their AI-Hotel in Punta Cana, but visited La Romana on the South coast and Samaná.
And they did not come empty handed. They helped children in an orphanage and brought gifts to some poor families near Las Terrenas.
Before their holiday we had made contact and my wife had identified needy and worthy families. Thus John and Debbie could bring specific things from the US:
Nice children's clothes, toys and dolls.
Special was a radio whose battery can be charged by a crank.
In Las Terrenas we bought more clothes from street vendors, cheap but good quality, foodstuff and sweets.
In this way a total of four families could be helped - directly, no red tape involved, personally.
All - those who received as well as those who donated - had a lot of fun.
Thank you very much for this help.
