While at the Episcopal center, the missioners installed 12 ceiling fans in the classrooms of the K-8 Episcopal school on the grounds of the center and 4 fans in a large meeting room in one of the dormitory buildings. They sanded and repainted a metal swing set and benches, and installed new climbing ropes on nearby tree branches. The school's middle grade students took part in two environmental awareness classes, and decorated an altar frontal with scenes of the local landscape and wildlife that was presented to the local Episcopal Church on Pentecost Sunday. Other items presented to the church were a Spanish lectionary altar book and a handmade embroidered fair linen. The veterinarian on the team successfully vaccinated 49 village dogs and cats for rabies, with the help of local community leaders who spread the word about the event. The team had earlier raised funds for the camp to install insect screening for the open-sided dining hall, and observed local contractors installing the framework and the initial delivery of screens. This screening work will be completed in about a week. They continued this team's traditional activity of sponsoring a "splash party" for about 160 children from the school and the community with wading pools, slip and slides, and hot dogs, cookies, cake and ice cream. Finally, they presented a certificate for 50 full scholarships for children in the Episcopal school for the 2016-17 academic year. These scholarship funds (US$350/child) were donated by members of Holy Nativity, Dothan, AL; Trinity, Statesboro, GA; Christ Church, Valdosta, GA; and other friends, family, and former missioners.

 

There were repeated visits with residents in their homes in the community, at the medical clinic, and during a farewell party sponsored by the clergy and staff of the Episcopal camp. The missioners even had time for a hike to the river near the camp and later to a local waterfall about four miles away, as well as for a shopping expedition into the nearby city of Jarabacoa. On their final full day in the Dominican Republic, they enjoyed an afternoon and evening of sightseeing, shopping, and dinner in a rooftop restaurant in Santo Domingo.
