Day one of many: Today is day one because it is the first day of this project becoming a full time business. I have decided to dedicate at least 40 hours a week to this. Today consisted of working on a logo and wire-framing the website. There is a long road ahead of me on this but it is a road worth taking.
NADTD is a non profit aimed at bringing piped clean water to small and medium sized cities in developing countries.
This is the beginning of a long journey. The website and entire set up should be up and running by the end of the week. Next week starts the contact with the hotels down in Bavaro to start getting them up to speed on what we are doing.

Friusa Dominican
We arrived safely in the Dominican Republic! We only got lost once trying to find our first hotel.
When we first arrived nothing really shocked us. This is our first time In a country like this. The airport was very nice and the people where friendly. What did shock us was the fact that most of the people here speak 3 or 4 languages. English not always being one of them.
One regret I do have is not learning more Spanish before we left. The people ere are so friendly and patient with us while we struggle to find the words to say.
We decided to walk to the first site in Friusa today. It was only about a 10 min walk. We didn't have a clue where we were going at first but we gave it a go. We found the back entrance and found someone who spoke French and I was able to ask if we were at the school.
We have been blown away by the great food and the wonderful hospitality of the people here.
One guy we came across today at the market went out of his way to help us find our hotel. He didn't want any money for helping us, a rare occurrence. Him and his wife said that they knew we must be with pastor pasquel, probably spelling his name wrong, and said he is a friend.
Tonight we are going to a young adults group at the church in Friusa and tomorrow starts the work we came here to do
