One of our favorite events to volunteer at is the Christmas party in Piedra Blanca. This is a celebration for the 85 Hatians that are served through a missionary group that provides after-school education and gospel-centered outreach. Once a year, they collect Christmas gifts to give to each child, provide snacks, and share the message of Jesus.
The four of us have participated in this every Christmas season that we have been in the D.R. We really enjoy reconnecting with some of the same kids that we have seen in the past and pouring into a part of the Jarabacoa community that we do not interact with as regularly. It is such a blessing to get to spend time with them for a day and to share the true meaning of Christmas. An additional blessing is that we get to partner with another ministry and be servants and encouragement to them and their efforts in the Haitian community.
