Take an Awareness Trip
Take A Life-Changing Journey To The Dominican Republic
My son and I loved meeting our sponsored student and started building a relationship with her that was so genuine and fulfilling. The overall trip was unforgettable and each day challenged my faith. God was present in every step of this journey and I feel blessed and full of hope and joy from our time with 2nd Mile Missions!

Why Take An Awareness Trip?
The best way to understand the needs of children and families in the Dominican Republic is to experience the impact of education and spiritual enrichment in the lives of impoverished children and families firsthand.
Awareness Trips are a powerful way to learn, engage with and make an even greater impact on the lives of the people we serve.
These trips take place a few times a year and are open to sponsors, donors and anyone who is interested in partnering with us or serving the needs of 2nd Mile Missions.
The average cost of a trip is $1,900, though this may vary based on travel costs at the time of your specific trip.
What To Expect

- If you are a sponsor, you will have dedicated time to meet your sponsored child and continue to build a relationship with them.
