Youth Ambassador Highlights
Special Bonds
By Youth Ambassadors Rose Trotman and Maddie Harrington of Pingree School in South Hamilton, MA

June 24, 2019
Our names are Maddie and Rose and we have been going to the NPH Dominican Republic home since middle school. This spring we went for our third time. We keep coming back because of the incredible friendships we have made with the kids. Each time we return, we are taken aback by the love, warmth, and hospitality we receive from everyone at the home. The response from the service we do in the batey villages and inside the home are so rewarding because we truly see the happiness and gratitude it creates. What impacts us the most are the individuals we meet inside the home. They radiate endless positive energy and are always eager to make friends. Whether you are playing soccer, drawing, dancing, singing, or getting your hair braided, you go home at night never wanting to leave the park. After our first visit, we both started sponsoring a child. Each time we go back, their excitement to see us makes us feel like we never left. We have created such strong bonds with these kids because of the sponsorship program. It allows us to write cards and send presents on special occasions. During our spring visit, all the older girls were wearing the rings and clothes I had given my goddaughter. It is so enlightening to see how such little gestures can make them so happy. Their smiles are truly infectious. NPH has taught us to take moments to appreciate all that we have in our lives. We feel so grateful to have had these experiences and bonds and cannot wait to return in the future.
“I support NPH because they are my family and my home.” |
