In October, I (plus 10 others from Bewdley Baptist) am going to the Dominican Republic. Instead of sunning themselves on the beach, they will be working on a building site to build homes for Haitian refugees.
It only costs around £2,500 to take a family from a squalid shack to a decent home with running water, sanitation and electricity. All the team are paying for their own travel and accommodation and every single penny raised will go to the building of homes for these refugees. Check out the video There is a four minute video that we have produced that shows the seen and unseen Dominican Republic and where we will be working (click on left or below).
