Each year I try to make some of my time available for a project that could either use a little help or afford me the chance to be involved in something larger than my own little world. Although my paid work often does just that, it’s normally a completely different experience for me if there is not a “client” watching me closely. So a few weeks ago I had the chance to go to the Dominican Republic for a week with some friends from my church and help do some construction at a place called Mission Emanuel. We also visited a leper colony, a first for me. It was an outstanding trip! I did take my camera and got a few shots off everywhere I went. Here is a sampling:
