Mis Normas is patterned after the Strength of Youth for LDS youth providing advice about many subjects like honesty, good language, and modest dress, etc. The program was approved by the Vice President of the Dominican Republic government and sponsored by the Church. A large traveling display of large boards on easels, inter-active videos on Ipads and handout brochures delivered this inspired program for youth 8-18 at libraries, schools, etc.
Over a two month period, 10,000 small brochures had to be manually Z folded and given away. We had an opportunity to lead many of the students in the Institute in folding over 6,000 of the brochures. This project was a lot of work but the Institute students were happy to participate in this worthwhile youth improvement project.
Another service project was recording English phrases for the Fundamental Values (Funval) training program. I was asked by the Director Basilio Guzman to record a list of common phrases in my "native English" voice so the Dominican students in training could hear the pronunciation of words and phrases by a native speaker and improve their English training.
There were over 20 pages of phrases with 30 phrases per page. After several retakes and getting used to hearing my voice, I finally got the routine down and was able to complete the project. Basilio was thrilled. He copied the phrases into the student's online training program and many told me it was a welcomed addition for their computer-based language training. I was excited to be able to assist. This was a simple but good project. It's really rewarding and fun to be involved in other missionaries and friends' projects. Randy
