To date, the "Challenge" which was posted prior to Christmas, has help raise over 20 bags of school supplies for the Dream Project alone!
That also does not include all of the donations that have been made to the other just as worthy orginizations.
This is incredible!
I know that with the Dream Project, it has made possible that each child in their schools care received 2 pencils, and a notepad after the Christmas break.....
to a tune of 1200 STUDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is truly awesome.

I hope that everyone who is considering travelling to the DR will take this initiative, and spare a little room for some danations in thier luggage, as it is an awesome feeling!

Accept the challenge, and donate as you can to those who can truly use it.

Cheers

Jimmy

school supplies

I have my carry on bag full of school stuff for my trip to Sosua in Feb.I'm just not sure how to go about distributing them.Ideally,I'd like to see the stuff go to 1 or2 more isolated schools as several friends did in Cuba in the past.I guess I'll find more info when I get there,but if you have any ideas,I'd like to see some here before I leave .

Info John

If you wish, there are many good orginizations that would appreciate your donations....I have worked with the Dream Project, and Tricia.
If you wish, I know that they can arrange pick-up, or even a tour to see the school(s) that your donations would be helping.
You can contact the Dream Project at

tricia@dominicandream.org

Thanks...we need more people such as yourself.

Cheers

Thanks, Appleman, for the School Supplies

Thanks to Bob (appleman) and Kay Huettemann, the children in Sosua have a large quantity of school supplies that they would not otherwise have.

Their generosity is greatly appreciated.

Anyone who will be in the Sosua area and desires to help the school children can leave the supplies they bring with me or at the Sosua Business Services on the main street of Sosua (almost directly opposite Britannia Pub).

John, the elementary school we are assisting is outside of Sosua and services many impoverished families. May not be exactly the sort of school you referred to in Cuba, but the next best thing. I've sent you and email.

Thanks for the email,Ken.I emailed you back but clicked on the wrong email icon and it went to Scoobster instead. I'm not used to the message board and I finally found the reply icon.(just a dumb white male)I will drop off the supplies at the Sosua Business Services as soon as we get settled in.There are other options as well,thanks to scoobster,so something positive will be done.Talk to you soon.

I highly recommend dropping off ANY school supplies at the Sosua Business Services if you are in that area. Angie Wolfe is very involved and will see that your donations get to the schools they support. She can show you pictures of the kids and some of the activities they are backing. It is a very easy way to help.

It is great to see people still acting on, and accepting the challenge!

Because of all of the kind-hearted travellers, the Dream Project has been able to assist over 1000 students of the DR.....that is truly AWESOME!

This does not of course include what has been donated to other kind orginizations....its truly incredible.

I hope that more travellers will read these threads, and continue to support the orginization of thier choice....as it is great to donate!

Cheers

donations in Punta Cana?

I would like to bring some school supplies. We are staying in Punta Cana so where would we bring the supplies? I found one post about a school in the Punta Cana / Bavaro area called Escuela Premaria El Cortecito, but the post is over two years old. Is this school still there if we bring some things for them? Thanks!!!
