I’ll be honest, the World Vision Trip has just kind of snuck up on me. The realization is just now starting to sink in that Hannah and I will be in the Dominican Republic in just a few days. I’m nervous and excited.
Nervous on how I’m going to share this experience with you because this blog isn’t really about my feelings and personal experience. Am I ready to open up that much in this public space? Nervous about how I will be affected by the trip. Will it change me? Will I just go about my normal life? Does what I do even make a difference? Right now, I just don’t know.
Excited because I’ve sponsored a child through World Vision for many years after watching my own mom sponsor a child while I was growing up. I’m excited because I do get to meet one of our sponsored children, Angela who is six years old. I am a little sad we will not be able to meet our other child we sponsor from the Dominican Republic, Luis (11), who shares my love of beans!
I feel so blessed to be asked to be part of this group. To be able to bring awareness to a cause I truly believe in is a highlight of my blogging “career.”
So what can you expect next week? I have plenty of deals/giveaways/bargain posts that will be scheduled and posted throughout the week. I will have a sticky post at the top of my blog which will have the latest World Vision Trip posts for easy access to those posts.
Please bookmark this tag link to follow all my World Vision Dominican Republic posts: https://bargainbriana.com/tag/world-vision/. Follow the group on Twitter – we will be using the hashtag #WVinDR. You will also want to read about our trip from these fabulous bloggers, who will be sharing their own perspective about the trip!

Do you sponsor a child? If you do, I would love to hear about the child you sponsor.
This sounds so exciting…we LOVE missions and serve others. Blessings on your trip!
Keeping you all in my prayers. And looking forward to what you do share.
Be safe and blessings on all of you. ;-)
This by far has to be one of the greatest “perks” of blogging. May God bless your trip and use you as an instrument both for the people in the DR and for those of us back at home.

I’m so thankful for you, Briana. Thank you for sharing your gifts! See you on Monday! :) And I can’t wait to meet Hannah!

Congratulations on your upcoming World Vision Trip. I look so forward to reading the posts about it. Having recently spent 6 months in the jungles of Ecuador, I can tell you that your life will forever be changed by such a trip. I think you will realize more than ever that what you do DOES make a difference. The fact that you teach so many of us how to be good stewards of the abundance (having a roof over our head and food three times a day is ABUNDANCE when compared to millions around this world) God has blessed is with, is an incredible ministry. Thank you for all you do. Many blessings on your trip. Enjoy all that God has in store for you on this journey.
