During one of our early years in Don Enrique Heights, my sisters and I joined the youth choir that was to sing at the fiesta mass. I bonded with the other kids, especially the girls who went to the same school I did. We had regular practices and hung out at each others’ homes during that time. Even after our fiesta choir “duties” were over, some of us continued to spend time together and to attend parties as a group.
The friends I made — some of them no longer living here — and the experience of doing something concrete for DEH made me feel that I belonged. This ultimately gave me my first sense of community — of sharing something tangible (living in DEH) as well as something intangible (goals and interests) with others.
This is what this blog seeks to capture — the spirit of community in DEH. Through blog posts, photos, news reports, and discussions, we’ll attempt to document life in and around this place we call home.
