My Trip To Dominican Republic
Dear …...,

As you likely know I recently got back from an amazing trip to the Dominican Republic! This trip opened up my eyes in many different ways such as just simply seeing the different cultures, seeing just how happy they are with how little they have and how much they trust in God to provide what they need! This trip also confirmed for me that mission work is definitely where God wants me in my future.
With that being said I would like to take a minute and tell you about a opportunity I have this coming summer. I recently had a school called YWAM (Youth With A Mission) drawn to my attention. I had been familiar with the base in Hawaii but not the base they have in New Zealand. When this was brought to my attention I immediately had

    Among Dominicans In A New Destination By Leeif Jensen

    In Leif Jensen’s article, “Ethnic Identities, Language, and Economic Outcomes among Dominicans in a New Destination,” Jensen observes Dominican immigrants, who migrated to Reading, Pennsylvania from the Dominican Republic, and how they identify themselves in America. He and his fellow researchers start their observations by giving some of the Dominicans, in Reading, surveys about their homes, health, stress, migration history, and other things. They find that 7.6 percent of Reading’s population is Hispanic, which is double Harrisburg’s percentage (Harrisburg is the community with the next closest percentage of Hispanics). They also used open-ended questions concerning race to give the respondents the opportunity to indicate how they classify…

    Dominican Republic Summary

    In the extent of attempting to conjure a sense of understanding of how nationalism and ethno racial stratification manifested within the Dominican Republic Author Amelia Hintzen delves into the critical examination of the historical components regarding Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo and his imposition of government campaigns against Haitian migrants in the early 20th century. Hintzen posits an unstudied dimension of analysis which includes a failed plan to massively deport Haitians which inevitably led to the 1937 border massacre which left thousands dead. Hintzen examines the degree to which the Trujillo regime enacted violence in attempts to forcefully disintegrate as a means of compelling obedience from local authorities which had resisted government attempts to supersede their jurisdiction.…

    Personal Narrative: Living Back In The Dominican Republic

    Living back in the Dominican Republic I used to have a very easy life. Then I was living in my grandparents’ house in the suburb; where everything was very repeatedly: Wake up, eat, go to school, go back home, eat, do homework, play, eat once again and go back to sleep. Weekends were my favorites though; every Sunday we would go out for lunch, which usually I would be the one to pick, and as an usual seven-eight years old child my favorite thing back then was Pizza.…

    Personal Narrative: The Dominican Republic

    The Dominican Republic, known for its beautiful beaches and balmy weather, was the last place I ever imagined I would find myself in this past summer vacation. On this week long trip, it wasn't for the warm ocean waves or the traditional Dominican cuisine I was called to, I was called to serve the beautiful Dominican people. On the third day of the trip, instead of heading out to the worksite where we had been pouring the concrete footers of a plastics and water filter factory, I opted to travel with a group to the childrens' cancer ward in Santiago and visit the patients. We started out our visit by performing a few dances we had taught our vacation bible school and handing out fun little gift we had brought with us. We played ball with some…

    Reflective Essay: My Mission Trip To Ecuador

    This past summer I had the incredible opportunity to go on a mission trip in Ecuador where I worked in an orphanage partaking in labor work, as well as, traveled out into the cities bordering Quito to organize VBSs (vacation bible schools)in startup churches . In beginning of the trip I expected the work I would participate in would be life changing to those in its wake. My expectations were highly set and the outcome did not match up; in fact, the outcome was quite the opposite. In the short week I spent in Ecuador, I realized almost immediately that the problems that needed to be mended were much larger than a group of fifty people could overcome in one week. There was so much need, and an insufficient amount of resources to provide for it. Nevertheless, I was…

    My Life In Haiti

    I was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to be more specific Cite Soleil and La saline respectively. These two places are probably the most dangerous part of the world, and two of the poorest part of Haiti. From a very young age, I was exposed to events ranging from seeing cadavers in the street almost on a daily basis, drug dealing, authority brutalities to lose a couple of childhood friends due to gang activities. In the midst of my environment disadvantages, my parents were doing a little bit better compared to the rest of our community until I reached the age of 5. One month after my 5th birthday, my life took drastic turn. My mother migrated to the United States (US) and left me in Haiti with my father, who subsequently became a drug addict. My living conditions came from as being ‘doing ok’ to worst. I suffered malnutrition, if it were not for my neighbors I would…

I spent the morning and early afternoon managing the Track and Field events of the Summer Games with friends and leaders from my church. This experience gave me a welcome change of perspective and an opportunity to focus on something greater than myself. On this day, I had the privilege of spending time with some of the kindest people I have ever met.…
