Tim and I worked at a very special place called Doulos Discovery School from 2009-2014. This expeditionary learning school is found in the mountains of the Dominican Republic in a town called Jarabacoa.
The summer of 2023, Tim and I got to go back to be a part of the school’s 20th reunion, and I had the unbelievable privilege of connecting with one of my old students named Jenniffer.
I first met Jenniffer as a sophomore in high school when she was far too cool for me. Y’all are in for a treat! Her story absolutely blows me away. As a 19 year old alone in the United States, she was faced with a tough choice when her Visa ran out.
She decided to stay in order to work and send money to her family back home in the DR, but when she got pregnant as an undocumented immigrant, life felt overwhelming and looked really bleak. But before we get there, Jenniffer takes us back to the beginning of her life in a poor neighborhood in the Dominican Republic.
