THANK YOU for 300 pounds of School Supplies!

That is so great! It warms the heart to see how people actually care!

Scoobster,
Congrats on your very successful venture. The collective efforts of the kind people can make quite an impact.

I agree, I myself dedicate some time free for 2 small public schools every week and teach the kids English. Very basic, very playful, but still they learn very fast, they have a 1000 questions to me as a "gringa" and if I follow those 2 schools ( I have started with the small, 7 year old kids ) from now on 60 kids will at least have a second language.

I know, and am aware of, that these children are very, very poor, some dont have books, nor pencils
- I have to bring all to the lessons and then I lock it in til next time - and basically they have nothing.
But I still do it, as I do what I can and want to give something back, living here in the society.
Even a 2nd language gives them a wish to learn more, to get familiar with the world, and it gives them a good feeling about themselves.

As they say, every drop helps to make a river..

You can help

DR1'ers . Yes there is still time for you to help, anyone can purchase a voucher for a chance to win the "Dream Vacation" to your choice of resorts in the DR, to a maximum of $3600 Canadian.

A group of crazy Canucks have setup this draw to aid the children in the Sosua area, the "Dream Project"

36 individuals have shared in the costs of the Grand Prize, there are many other prizes that have been donated by business partners in Canada and the DR. Draw will take place on July 23 in Canada at the 2nd Annual Debbies Dominican Fiesta.

It is our goal to raise $10,000 Canadian for the children of the Dream Project in Sosua. 500 vouchers where available but they are going fast. You can reserve yours by checking out thie following website.
