You can adopt me haha
I am in the middle of looking for a job teaching in Sosua. I am going meeting the principal of one of the international schools in December. If I get the job and start work there next year, you can sponsor my classroom!! The more resources we can get in there the better!! Any chance you could fit a SMARTboard in your suitcase? haha. I wish I could take one with me, they are amazing!!
I think that is a great idea that would make such a difference to the lives of many children!

Kyle, where do you live? I have a group here in the Greater Toronto Area called So On Fire Sew On Fire - Home I have met these wonderful people and they have gift bags that are sewn by members, and filled with school supplies, personal hygene items etc. They also have a teachers bag, filled with enough school supplies for a year. These are free, just fill out the form and send them a photo of you giving it out.

I love the idea of adopting a classroom. I try to get to Sosua twice a year and each time I go I take supplies. I would love to adopt a classroom and also help out while I am there.
I am going to check out Sew On Fire-Home as well.

tarrantino, it's hard to find, I know you are in Mississuaga, so let me know if you want to go to Sew On Fire. My office is in Mississauga, and I will take you there. They are wonderful people.

Dominicandream.org, Sosua Kids, Beyond the Beach and other organizations are great foundations to channel your generous and much needed donations. All contributions in any way, shape or form are highly encouraged. Your efforts are applauded. Why is it that Canadian folks seem to be the most generous of visitors? Must be a 'thang' but a good 'thang'.

Take a look at the photos at this link.
We have over 40 Haitian children in the school now. We are always in need of items but even just a visit would be great.
It means a lot to them that people even take interest.
Either way thank you for wanting to help out.

i am located in the washington, d.c area of the US. i have contacted the DREAM project folks and i'm awaiting an answer. i saw that they are located in caberete. i hear there is a school over by the clasico disco but i don't want to just show up with school supplies. i will be in sosua 11/10 and would really like to get these supplies to someone, anyone. i wanted to bring scissors and clay but i think customs might think i'm carrying C4 and dangerous weapons.
would it be a good idea to just show up at a school with supplies ??

Kyle,
when you get there, why don't you take a walk to see if there is indeed a school there (unless someone confirms there is one there before you go) and if it is take the supplies back.
jrf, I plan to go for a visit this time for 100% certain when I go back and I still have supplies that I have been accumulating to take to the school.
captain2002, that would be great. I will be in touch.
tflea, everyone that I talk to no matter what their destination always mention that they are taking school supplies,gifts for staff, etc.
And I agree it is a very good "thang"

What a great idea Kyle
Me too! I was looking to do something charitable for Christmas or my birthday this year, in lieu of gifts...I'll look into this!

If it is the International School of Sosua be careful when you drop something off. Those Hummers and BMWs really whip in and out of there when they drop off the kids.I am in the middle of looking for a job teaching in Sosua.
