A wonderful think is happeming in Sosua. A group of long-term ex-pats have formed an association to help send kids to school. Education in the DR is free and compulsory however books, supplies and uniforms are required so many kids from poor families dio not attend sinch it costs from 600-700 pesos per year per child. Supported by donations from expats and tourists alike the association provides 2 each of the following: shirts or blouses, pants or skirts, socks, underwear. belt and backpack, even a school picture. since September they have been able to send 11 kids to school and have enough money to send them back in January. The families are screened to ensure they are needy. Should you choose to help with a donation please stop by the Britannia pub on the main street and see Barb, Linden or Lindo the head bartender. If you can spare 200 or 300 pesos great, but even smaller donations are gratefully accepted. Itis a wonderful idea and you will be helping kids who have a great thirst for learning. Gracias.
