Good morning!

Yesterday in Sociology of Community we we started to examine out service learning project in Dominican Republic  taking on a critical examination of volunteering. Last night on watch some of us were lucky enough to witness a pod of dolphins dancing in bioluminescense and this morning we’re enjoying pigs in a blanket for breakfast!
