“Images Burned Forever In My Mind” (Dominican Republic Trip)

Posted 09 Dec 2011 in ::Life::,::Photog::,Giving Back

These are some images that have been burned in my mind from a recent trip to the Dominican Republic. Part of my job with Food for the Hungry allows me to take people of influence overseas to the communities that we serve. In this case these people of influence were Jonny Diaz and Logan Martin, two amazing musicians that impact people all over the U.S. The images below are just a few, but some of my most memorable and inspiring moments.

ENJOY and please let me know by leaving a comment, which photo moves you the most and WHY.

This little guy doesn't know it yet, but FH is building his family of four a new home very soon (shhhhh)

This couple are both 23 years old, been married for 7 years, and have 3 kids under 7 years old. Their favorite hobby is to watch their kids be able to play on their homes concrete floor, as opposed to the mud floor before we built them a home.

SUGAR CANE is a treat for many, but also helps to clean the plaque off of teeth

This is the local watering hole for the small rural community of Monte Plata

These are my two friends and artist that partner with Food for the Hungry that we took to show them our work up close and personal. They were both put on the spot by a local to sing a song

These two extremely creative & funny girls just gratuated our FH AMO program "Spiritual Foundations School"

 

Many people are flooded out of their homes frequently, but it's the cheapest place to live. I also discovered that many people commit suicide from this bridge and kill others by falling through their tin roof home

The funny thing about this pic is the man that drove by yelling in spanish "TAKE A PICTURE OF HIM JUMPING OFF THE BRIDGE" ---- funny, ha ... ha!

 

We had the honor of playing the local Domincan kids in baseball, their national sport. We won, and they were not very happy

This is the innovation of 3rd world kids. I had to help fix it & all I had was vine. I hope it lasted them a while
