Throughout the world, children are born in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Basic opportunities, especially educational opportunities, are lacking. Because of this, children reach adulthood without the education necessary to be accepted to a good university, and without the vocational training necessary to obtain a skilled job. These children then have no job or a low-paying unskilled job, turn to crime or prostitution to survive, have more children, and the dead-end cycle continues.

Located between Cuba and Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. The Dominican Republic is a very safe and friendly country, with many Dominicans having family living in the states. A representative democracy has been in place since the 1960's. Baseball is the national sport, with many Dominicans playing in the major leagues. The country is very poor, especially along the "frontera", the area along the Haiti border. The major industries include tourism, agriculture especially the sugar crop, mining and manufacturing.

In the Dominican Republic, the orphanage was struggling to just provide the basic necessities, much less opportunities for the children living there. Our vision is a transformed world in which every child is able to pursue a college degree or to be gainfully employed upon reaching adulthood, enabling them to live a life of choice. Each child will become an active citizen, committed to serving those less fortunate, and be an active friend of the environment.

Language acquisition is best when you start early and when you provide exposure often. Grade school and middle school children are taught beginning and intermediate English with a variety of fun methods, including structured classroom time, learning activities, and English immersion camps. As children are learning English, there is an opportunity to learn about many different subjects.

I have chosen to make a difference with these children by volunteering my time, and by raising funds. I have committed to raise a certain amount of funds which will help me make a big impact in the lives of many. Please help me meet and exceed my goal by making a donation; your financial donation will make a huge difference. Thank you.
