We started our day with a nice breakfast at the hotel before walking down the street to Accion Callejera for our orientation and tour of the building..
Several members of the staff explained the purpose of each room individually. We were able to tour the upstairs, which we did not get to do last year. It is here where some of the kids learn to cut hair as an alternative to working on the street, and it is also the work area for making candles to sell.
After the orientation we had lunch in the cafeteria, followed by a cup of Dominican coffee and an optional cerveza (Presidente porsupuesto!).
Later we went out to the monument and ate at "The Meat Arm" (El Brazo Carne) before going to the Piano Bar for some awesome and entertaining dancing....
Everyday we continue to grow as a group
Im so glad you all arrived safely and I definitely remember The Piano Bar. Its good to here that Accion is growing and teaching the children new things; cutting hair and candles, wow! Take time to soak it all in and have fun!
