In which area of the DR will you be helping the children and with what please?

Ladybird, please feel free to browse our website at Beyond The Beach Children's Foundation

The two groups we presently lend financial support to are Mustard Seed Community, an orphanage for handicapped and abandoned children in Cangrejo and the DREAM Project in Cabarete, which supports education as a means to self-help, in the DR.

I am coming to the North Coast in late April for two weeks and have been authorized by our Board of Directors to make monetary donations to both of these organizations, again AND to make a first-time donation to another North Coast group whose work we admire (as this group does not know we are making a donation I will not reveal their name until I have made the donation on behalf of BTBCF).

Thank you for your interest and if you have any other questions which may not be addressed by our website, please post here, e-mail or PM me.

July seemed so far away but now it's fast approaching . It's at the end of July so I have no birthday parties to attend this year therefore I'll be there one way or another. ;)

Let's get a big group from DR1 this year.
Who's with me? ;)

Sorry anna, this is the list of silent auction and door prize items. ( and growing too)

For those who are attending the $25.00 per person has to be sent to Gregg in advance. We have to be sure that the costs are covered.
We are putting together the menu daily, there are a few of us who can REALLY cook---yes I am one of them LOL, and my wife is the best baker in the world. hifiman's wife and friends are making dinner along with those who want to comtribute. It will be the best pot luck ever. One of my dishes will be authentic DR.

We have been working on getting a DR artist to perform there, her name is Karmen and her voice is out of this world. We met her in Punta Cana in 2005. Here is a sample. CD Baby: KARMEN-V: De Sangre Latina

We and others have written the embassy hoping to have there visa's approved.

I don't think Anna got her answer, and I was also wondering, where do we send our $25.00?

Thanks

Thanks for thinking of me :) Yes, I'll be there!

On a separate but related topic, I have this wheelchair in my garage. Less than 4 years old, good quality. (Adult, electric charge to the wheels making it easy to push, folds.) Is there anyway of getting it to the DR? I don't know when I'll make it there. If not, I'll just donate it here in Canada. Surely the airlines would accomodate a wheelchair...

As everyone can see, this Fiesta to raise funds for the children of the Dominican Republic is really coming together. A LOT of work has and is still being done!

Some of these items will be available for bids on our on-line auction while others will be at the Fiesta for bidding and some will be door prizes/giveaways.....

Also, many of these items have been donated by individuals (I received some via UPS 3 boxes from Newfoundland).... if you are interested in donating an item, contact one of the Directors and we will see what can be done....

We also have vouchers for sale! They are only $10 each - the prize is All-inclusive 1 week for 2 people at the beautiful 5 star Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana - also includes up to $1,500 for air fare!

Anything you can do would be so appreciated and your help goes a long way!

Check out our website for more information or, PM any of the Directors - we would LOVE to hear from you!!!

PS - Gregg's mailing address is on the front page of our website... another excellent way to pay is via internet money transfer to Gregg.... I've sold vouchers that way!
