Arrival: Welcome to the Dominican Republic! After your 4North Representative greets you at the airport, you'll be driven to the team guest house.  Once you're settled in, you will review the projects and programs for the rest of the week.

Let's Deliver or Restore: Our morning will commence with our DarAgua “GiveWater” program, where we will engage in the process of washing, sanitizing, filling, and sealing bottles. Upon completion of water orders, we will personally deliver these bottles to local schools in Bani, ensuring that the students gain access to clean drinkable water. Remember to bring your “dancing shoes”, as the students in Bani are particularly fond of dancing bachata, meringue, and salsa!

If we don't participate in delivering water due to school schedules, the team will undertake a community service project by restoring a home through painting. This endeavor will benefit a deserving family within the community, providing them with a fresh new look to their living space.
