Tiled floor

One of the homes we walked into that first day had thick tiles laid down loosely on the dirt floor. When we initially walked in to the home one of our group members mentioned she was worried about tracking in dirt on to their floor as she walked across.


I can only imagine what the floor might look like during the rainy season when it would be extremely difficult to keep them dry and free of mud with two children running through the small home.

In parts of the Dominican it can easily accumulate two or three inches or more of rain in a day during the wettest part of the season.
