Follow on Google News | ![]() Florida Insurance Agents Provide Aid to Families in Dominican RepublicFlorida Insurance Agents, Brian Culbertson and David Theiss of the Culbertson Agency, recently returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic, where they provided meals for children and assisted in the construction of a community center.
By: Culbertson Agency The primary purpose of the Culbertson team’s trip was to assist with the construction of a central building in Hato del Yaque. The building would serve as the community center, and would also provide housing for a local pastor and missionary, who previously did not have a place to live within the community. When the Culbertson team arrived, they saw that most of the structures in the area consisted of only a few old boards and pieces of tin, which were loosely tied together. The mission of the team was to erect a concrete block structure, which would serve as a safe, secure community center in Hato del Yaque. Photos and detailed information about the trip can be found on Culbertson's Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/ “This was very hard work, much different than building homes in the U.S.,” said Brian Culbertson of Culbertson Agency. “We mixed all of the concrete by hand, moved every block, and dug every ditch with a shovel. We partnered with the local construction team, who knew how to do everything. We were just there for manual labor, and they worked us hard!” In addition to the construction project, the Culbertson team also provided hot meals for children in the community who were suffering from malnourishment. The organization that Culbertson partnered with, called “Go-Kids”(www.go- Theis and Culbertson also had the opportunity to meet some of the children who have benefited from the financial contributions Culbertson Agency has made over the years. “We got to meet 5 of the 6 kids that we support through the Go-Kids sponsorship,” Culbertson and Theis plan to return to the Dominican Republic in June, then again in October to provide ongoing assistance where it is needed. They hope to continue this effort by making the same trip at least three times per year. # # # About Culbertson Agency: Culbertson Agency is run by Florida insurance agent, Brian Culbertson and his wife Karen.
