If you haven't already, check out Nikki's Hero Holiday Dominican Republic blog.

Nikki, whom I profiled last month, is now down in the Dominican Republic working on building projects, visiting kids in orphanages, and generally spreading goodwill.

Every day she is updating her blog with photos, videos, and observations about her time in the DR. Don't miss it! Today's video of one of the orphanages will put any troubles you may have into perspective.

Also, you don't want to miss Nikki's reunion with Frangelis, the little girl she befriended last year. Don't say I didn't warn you if you need a Kleenex or two with this video!
