Thought for food. How can the D.R. justify the cost of RD $1.2 billion or US $60 million for the Iberoamerican Summit taking place in Bavaro on the 15th and 16th? What is the marketing thought the government has to explain the cost? I suppose someone has projected a great return on the investment.
I just find it very hard to justify, when a local Bavaro elementary school has to go begging for help to optain proper lavatory facilities, building security, staff, and a long list of other necessities. My favorite, is when the maestra wanted a national flag for the school, the government could not come up with one. She had to scrounge one from a local business. The government is supposed to supply a stove to the school for the new govt. breakfast program for students. I heard the maestra is to arrange for the food and cooking with no further govt. subsidy. So much for the breakfast program.
I just pray for the students sake some of the visiting Iberoamerican dignitaries pay a visit to the school to see and ask of the conditions.
Just hope that some of the RD 1.2 billion makes its way to the school. Regards, PJT
