​Hello, friends!  I’m faced with the attempt to summarize our 2020 global mission efforts in a world turned upside down……. may you truly feel our thanks radiating off the page as you read!

  1. A fabulous team serving on the ground as Covid-19 simmered (March) Check out the Oct blog post for a wonderful overview of our week.
  2. Incredible blessing of $9000 donated for essential food distribution to 750 households on the north coast of the DR. (May/June)
  3. “Shoes for Sosua” campaign provided required black tennis shoes for return to school for over 300 students. (September)
  4. Spreading awareness locally over the summer with 2 Zoom events and a live backyard concert (socially distanced, of course).
 
We are so encouraged by your support of our trip, virtual events, and campaigns during 2020. In addition, our Board of Directors completed a Strategic Planning process and will continue to think creatively about serving remotely until we are able to return to Sosua with a team. Your prayers are a priceless component of that encouragement- prayers for a return to health and peace for the planet, and wisdom for Sisters Village regarding our future — on-the-ground or from the US.  
 
We are participating in #GivingTuesday again this year.  Watch for more details for “Coffee from the Caribbean” on Dec 1st at 8:00 am.  Join us for for an update from Ángelica Castillo, from her physical therapy office. Door prizes and incentives for bringing a friend! Please enjoy these pictures along with our deep gratitude. Dios te bendiga! #Godsloveinaction

​

I graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in Physical Therapy, and have dedicated my career to Women’s Health issues for over 30 years. Since 1993, my clinical focus has been pelvic floor dysfunction, including bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain syndromes. As an educator, my audience has included PT students, practicing clinicians, urogynecology fellows, and community based women’s groups throughout the US and in the Dominican Republic. I have been published in The Gynecological Manual (American Physical Therapy Association), and Therapeutic Exercise, Foundations and Techniques (FA Davis). Currently, I see clients in my private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana.

My husband Dan and I visited the DR for the first time in 2008. Our lives have been greatly enriched as we have continued to build relationships there, following God’s promptings. We are also truly blessed by our daughter Amber, her husband Adam, and our grandson Colton, who live near to us in Indiana.

Full of excitement for 2018

Sisters Village is officially 1 year old this week! It’s been a year of lots of learning for me (mostly learning how to use Weebly, and I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface). The Board meetings have been part of the learning.....sharing my experience in the DR and brainstorming ways to spread awareness. In October, I was able to meet with our partners in person, presenting to 24 Dominican therapists on treatment of urinary incontinence, and firming up a plan to provide sewing machines to local women with skills in garment design.
We have a regular presence on Facebook and Instagram, some initial fundraising success, and in the planning stages for our first community event this Spring. November 3-11, 2018 will be our first official trip to Sosua. Potential team members are being recruited and planning for a PT seminar on Osteoporosis is in motion. We appreciate any and all support....sharing our website, prayers, joining the November team or donations of any amount. Stay tuned for specific details regarding our inaugural event coming in a few months. Muchas gracias and Dios te bendiga!
