This week, we’re welcoming a group of physical therapy students and professors from Georgia State University to Puerto Plata!

Throughout their time in the Dominican Republic, the group is working alongside our team through physical therapy home visits, educational sessions with local healthcare providers and caregivers, and time spent getting to know the communities we partner with.

We’re glad to have them here and look forward to sharing more from their week in the DR!

Salsa on the Square may have been cut short by unexpected weather, but we’re grateful for an incredible evening of music, dancing, and connection with so many new and familiar faces.

In this video, Comunidad Connect board member Roberto Vargas shares more about our work in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, and why our community of support means so much to us.

We’re grateful to Roberto for sharing his voice and to , one of the title sponsors, for helping make Salsa on the Square possible.

There’s plenty more to share from the night, but for now, we’re happy to look back on the people, energy, and connections that made it such a special evening.

For years, Juana dreamed of having a home where she and her children could live in peace. Today, she has one.

Juana began working in the fields alongside her father as a teenager and has spent much of her life working to support her family. For years, she lived with her mother and other family members while hoping for a place of her own.

Juana was given a plot of land by her father, and through Homes for Good, that dream has become a reality.

Through her participation in previous housing projects, Juana has learned skills like mixing concrete, laying stone, and preparing land. She’s put those skills to work on her own home and will continue using them as she supports future projects in her community.

“I have worked hard all my life. I know that one day I will have my own home with my children.”

Now, she does.

A home of her own and a new chapter for Juana and her family.

We’re grateful to the partners and donors who help make moments like this possible.

Homes for Good has been moving forward in Nicaragua, and we have some updates to share!

Over the coming days, we’ll be highlighting ongoing work with partner families as we work together toward safer, more secure homes.

Thanks for following along, supporting this work, and continuing to be part of the community behind it.

Travel always presents an opportunity to connect, share, and learn from one another.

During her visit to Nicaragua, artist and traveler Natalia París spent time with children from San Juan del Sur and Pochote who participate in our Inter Campus youth soccer project.

Together, they took part in an art activity focused on creativity, emotions, teamwork, and recognizing the unique skills and qualities each person brings.

It’s one of the things we value about Inter Campus: soccer creates a space where children can learn and grow both on and off the field, building teamwork, confidence, respect, and connections with others.

Thank you, Natalia, for sharing your time and creativity with the kids and for making this part of your visit to Nicaragua.

We’re grateful for experiences like these that bring people together in simple, meaningful ways.

Since 2024, 83 families in Nicaragua have a new bathroom through Comunidad Connect’s Baños For Good initiative.

That means safer, healthier, more dignified living conditions for 83 families, and more are on the way.

This work is possible because of the generous donors who believe that something as basic as a safe and sanitary bathroom can make a meaningful difference in a family’s life. We thank you!
