Halloween

Dove was able to get a huge donation of Halloween costumes and threw a giant party for the kids on the afternoon of Halloween, during Saturday Boys and Girls Club. Erica, as you can see, had a blast! She is pictured with her friend Brittany.

Erica's little brother, Bebo, adorable as always with his little toothless smile! The background of this picture shows the beach area, covered in garbage, where the kids play.

Pool Party!

Liz, along with Jencen and Jenny (two Canadian volunteers in the DR for 2 weeks) took the girls of the Girls Club to a pool party, and Erica was able to attend! She is wearing the bright pink bathing suit.

Their House

In this video, Erica and Bebo took me on a tour of their house. I think it is impossible to watch this video without smiling. They are so sweet and so proud of the little they have. Bebo pats the outhouse and smiles proudly, saying in spanish, "This bathroom is mine!"
