From time to time posters ask how they can help children in Sosua. The Sosua News today is reporting on an informal project that might be of interest to some:
Sarah Katz, a relative of Sos?a pioneer Martin Katz, is committed to the children which by all kinds of reasons can not make use of free education. These are approximately 40 children who live in Sos?a Abajo and which are not officially registered. These children officially 'do not exist' and are therefore unable to use free public education and medical care. The children are from extremely poor families, often without a father and without proper clothing, footwear and daily meals. Sarah Katz, a socially-minded resident of Sos?a, has taken pity on these poor children.
From own resources and donations she ensures the children a daily meal, some clothes, shoes and education.
For the education of the children she rents a house in Sos?a Abajo (Calle Principal) with two rooms in which education is provided. It's a small house and circumstances are very primitive.
But the children are enthusiastic and inquisitive. But they lack many resources. There are insufficient school resources such as books, notebooks and writing utensils. But there is also lack of clothing, shoes and money for daily meals. That is why Sarah Katz calls on everyone with a social feeling heart, to support this project. Money is of course very welcome, but also cans of food, clothes and shoes in various sizes are very welcome. But there is also a need for a stove with a gas tank, fridge, tables and chairs. You can deposit your gift at the restaurant / bar Jolly Roger in the main street Pedro Clisante 11 or at real estate office Watson Homes (opposite Banco Popular).
