It's Sunday night, and the team has arrived on Grand Bahama Island. More than 45 volunteers will participate in the playground build during the days ahead. Participants from MDRT and our project partner, Kids Around the World, have flown to the Bahamas from a number of countries, including Canada, the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Belgium and the Bahamas.
The week kicked off tonight with a welcome reception, which offered volunteers the chance to meet one another, and gave MDRT leadership the opportunity to thank them for the work they'll do this week.
"The Foundation has always been committed to giving back more than just dollars," said Sally W. Munford, CLU, ChFC, a Foundation Trustee from San Antonio, Texas. "The fact that each of you have chosen to give your time for the benefit of others is the perfect example of this philosophy."
The team settled in for the night, ready for an early start on the playground tomorrow morning. We hope you'll check back tomorrow for an update from one of the volunteers, and for a look at a photo of our progress.
