The school for c 40+ children provides food and education for very poor local children from kindergarden to young adults. Many of the children are unable to attend the public schools as they lack basic equipment but the school caters for all seeking, and hungry for, education over and above what the local schools can offer.
Nutrition is the key to learning and the school feeds all the pupils daily, depending on resources, and provides education in French, Spanish and English across the curriculum.
The main needs are for food and educational resources from rice and vegetables to pencils and exercise books (textbooks/readers too!) and backpacks plus clothing/shoes (to enable them to attend school).
Volunteers are also needed for both teaching and to help out and we are currently seeking premises (the current house is in very bad repair and floods - the rainy season is coming)
If you can help in any way the local contacts are Keith Watson (at Watson Homes opposite the Banco Popular) and the Jolly Roger (in the main street) both in Sosua town. If you want more info please email me on sarahkatz1@hotmail.com.
All/anything will be much appreciated/well-used and everything donated goes directly to the school/pupils.
