Goals achieved for joint house renovation
During spring 2024, Quest Adventures sponsored service trips to 3 outstanding school teams who worked on community- generated projects in Cape Verde, The Dominican Republic and the Rio Grande Valley border in Texas. Each team of students and teachers had the opportunity to get to know and work side-by-side with local residents as they completed projects that made an important difference in the lives of the residents as well as our own students and teachers.
Team Cape Verde from Boston Arts Academy
Team Cape Verde volunteered in two elementary schools on the beautiful islands of Praia and Fogo. In Praia, the school children met the team at their hotel and walked with them to their school where they created and painted a mural based on an Amilcar Cabral inspiring poem. They prepped the walls and painted the children’s classroom and the following day, they participated in a whole community cultural celebration that included a dance presentation by BAA students and danced Batuku and the Cha Cha slide with the community members. In Fogo, they also painted a school classroom and bought much needed groceries and school supplies for the students. Later they met the mayor of the city.
Team Dominican Republic from Community Academy
This team traveled to the small community of Arroyo Blanco in Moca, DR. and built the foundation of a new home for Dona Fela. Her home and belongings had been severely damaged from the constant rain pouring through the large cracks in her zinc covered home. Odalis Polanco, a former Quest student back in 2005 and later a Quest board member, invited the team to his nonprofit, La Casa Azul, and introduced them to the local Arroyo Blanco community where he grew up. The community embraced the students and teachers and they built strong friendships together through working, playing, dancing and eating together as one community.
Team Rio Grande from Another Course to College
This ACC team will be traveling to the Rio Grande Valley, along the border between Texas and Mexico, during the final week of school in June. They will have an amazing opportunity to volunteer with three organizations that work with refugees and migrants. At the Respite Center, they will cook meals and sort/distribute clothing to migrants at their temporary lodging before they depart from their temporary lodging to move to their permanent lodging. The team will also work at the Soup Kitchen as well as the Food Bank for the migrants who are suffering from food insecurity. Our students will prepare, pack, and serve meals as well as distribute fresh produce, dry goods, and frozen foods to those in need.
