blitz back and let us know if you're interested in next week!

ZUMBA:
The Zumba(R) program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to
create a one-of-a-kind fitness program. Zumba(R) Fanatics achieve long-term benefits
while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning,
body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ASB:
This group will work in Barrio Samán, a migrant village of roughly 100 families
near the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The ASB participants aim to contribute
to advancing community-defined, development projects and develop cross-cultural
relationships through service. In 2008, the group built a park and a community
center in addition to conducting a health survey and teaching HIV/AIDS awareness
and prevention classes to youth in and around the community. In 2009, the group
constructed an athletic court for the community, continued the HIV/AIDS education
project, and conducted a community census focused on public health and community
demographics. In 2010 they began construction on an internet center. The group
for 2011 will work on completing this project. These projects were conducted in
collaboration with the recently founded Haitian Development Organization of Samán
(ODHS), made up of local men and women invested in the barrio's wellbeing.
