Community Dinner (from last Thursday)


“We went back to the preschool and ate with some of the people from the community. After that, we played HeadsUp and attempted our best Spanish. It was the best time ever.” - Nona (Education, El Callejon)


“We ate at the house of one of the kids on the baseball team. His mom made us the traditional Hispanic rice, chicken, potato salad, and plantains. It was delicious and after, we talked outside of the house with members of the neighborhood and it was a good time with the amazing weather.” - Toby (Men’s Sports)


“Community dinner was absolutely fantastic. We met an amazing woman, and my new friend Ally left our host family a very special present.” - Kelsey (Education, Mata Gorda)


“We ate with Melvin who is on staff at Genesis. The dinner was delicious, and we enjoyed his wonderful view of the sunset over the mountains. It was an amazing time with amazing people.” - Grace (Genesis, Special Education)


“The moment we walked to meet the family, I could feel their hospitality. I’ve honestly never had a more delicious meal in my life, and I’ve never felt so pleasantly happy as I felt while I was with them. It really was an indescribably sweet moment.” - Cathy (Physical Therapy)


“The great food, welcoming people, and the unforgettable conversation were the essence of this community dinner. It was the epitome of the Dominican Hospitality.” - Justin (Education, Los Higos)


“Great family, great hospitality, great food, great dominoes!!!” - Mr. Chong (Appropriate Technology)


“Dominican food is amazing but the hospitality was life changing.” -Priscilla Kendrick (Women’s Sports)


“We have learned so much about involving culture and religion into medicine. We have overcome language barriers and have learned how to take vitals in the hopes to invest our love in the country that has been so hospitable to us.” -Kiley McCombs (Community Health)


“I ate so much food.” - Hannah (Dentistry)
