What a great meeting with the “Dominican Mayor” of Philadelphia and the magnanimous Pedro Rodriguez about developing support for Dominican schools.

And the guava y queso empanadas at Pedro’s Empanandas United are the perfect dessert.

Kindergarten students were in class outside, and the School Director asked us to help raise money for a classroom. We are proud to have raised the funds to build and hire Dominican workers as well as provide 60 backpacks and 120 notebooks (purchased through locally and Dominican-owned school supply store). We also raised funds for the twenty families in the community struggling the most with food insecurity for 6 days of food.

Please support our girls’ empowerment after school sports program or our after school English language immersion program.

Giving Tuesday is tomorrow, and we wanted to share a little about our recently launched English language immersion and girls’ sports programs in the Dominican Republic. We partner with the local school leaders in Jamao al Norte to offer programs intended to create long term job opportunities through speaking English and giving girls additional reasons to stay in school through team sports.

We know there are a lot of demands on everyone’s budgets right now, and we appreciate your considering supporting our efforts.

Thank you to all who donated to the after school English language immersion program in Jamao al Norte, Dominican Republic. This program was formed in partnership with the local public school, and classes are held there.

Classes started this week. Monday and Wednesday classes are held for grades K-2. Tuesdays and Thursdays are for grades 3-6. Fridays are for middle school. We’re creating local jobs paying fair trade wages while furthering their local goals for educational sustainability.

Hunger in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica is a significant and growing problem. Soup kitchens and food pantries cannot be found in these countries as they are here. And now that children are attending school by watching television in both countries, families are often responsible for providing lunch for their children as well.

For those who were not able to donate the first time but are still looking toward their holiday and end of year donations, we would love more sponsorships to spread Christmas joy and feed families who can use some support now more than ever. Please Give a Christmas Dinner.
