‘Water and Light’ – Auburn football players prepare water filters and solar light for Dominican communities

In May, Auburn football players, Coach Gus Malzahn and members of the FCA staff spent the beginning of their summer break in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. A trip led by team chaplain Chette Williams, the team had many opportunities to interact directly with the communities. One of the more impactful stops on the itinerary were the days spent building, preparing and distributing clean water filters and solar light packets.

"What I took away from the trip is to be appreciative of everything, because they're living with no air conditioning, no clean water, no light and they don't complain.
