From the Ground Up Is Finally Grounded in the DR

From the Ground Up arrived in the Dominican Republic yesterday after an extensive flight delay. They left for Logan International Airport in Boston at 2am on Tuesday and they were scheduled to arrive in the Dominican Republic around 5pm. However, because of their flight delay, they did not arrive in the Dominican Republic until after midnight. Students in this group are seen in the picture to the right on their way from the airport in the Dominican Republic to where they will be staying near the mountain village they will be helping, El Mango. During their time in the Dominican Republic, students will offer tutoring sessions, English language instruction, and will be "running" recess at the local school. When not working at the school, students will work with the townspeople to help finish the construction of a partially built community center, all with the goal in mind to improve the quality of life in the mountain village. We wish these Lawrence Academy students the best of luck with their endeavors and hopefully they will have better luck with their flight back home!
