School Supplies

We have heard that school supplies (pencils, paper, etc) are needed for students in the DR. We are bringing some items along with us in November and would like to make contact with a school rep or teacher that could use them.
Trying asking this gal.

I met her, nice girl. Teaches in Sosua and very dedicated to her profession. She may be able to give you some pointers.

I am in Puerto Plata and regularly help tourists get school supplies distributed. Seems like you have lots of help with distribution in Cabarete.
However - if you want help with buyings supplies when you are here - feel free to contact me. There are several places in Puerto Plata we can go to or if you have a wish to - we can go to Santiago too!

Very kind offer, thanks indeed.
Don't forget the teachers. I think Charlielyn wrote teacher supplies. We realized the first time we took stuff for the kids that the teachers were often dipping into their meager pay. Chalk baby. You'll get un abrazo fuerte for chalk.
OK, Farmer, what is un abrazo fuerte?
Big hug. (literally translated as strong hug)OK, Farmer, what is un abrazo fuerte?

Great! Thanks for the translation, Rocky.
A word of caution - while we all love the idea of seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids in school - please understand how disruptive it is to a schoolroom when foreigners show up. Unfortunately these kids get little enough actually time with the teachers learning.
So, if you must go in person, plan to go at the end of the school session. That way you disrupt as little as possible!
