The sun is shining even brighter in the Dominican Republic thanks to a group of Sun Life Financial advisors.

I was among those advisors attending a conference from March 25-28, 2010, in Punta Cana. We spent a day helping out at a local school. We and our families cleaned up the grounds, did some landscaping, built a playground, and painted the school inside and outside.

We also donated money to purchase new desks. Sun Life Financial made a matching donation that paid for a new roof, wiring, septic system and well, ceiling fans and fridge, generator, new doors, steps and screens.

It was a rewarding hands-on experience for everyone involved. And 70 children much less fortunate than us now have a school they can look forward to attending.

I’m always proud to give back to my community and to help others in need.
