This is not in Sosua, but Jamao where I work. In that small town, many houses have been washed away.
Strength for the Journey, a legal Dominican Republic non-profit, has a learning center there. Our children have been affected, so for the next few weeks, all donations we receive will go towards relief for the flood victims. We will hold the money until we learn how the government is going to help. Then, we will work with the 2 priests of Jamao to help determine what the greatest unmet needs are. We cannot afford to duplicate services.
Secondly, I just received a message that someone (I don't know) from Canada will be sending down a suitcase of bedding, towels, and clothes to distribute.
There are many worthwhile groups providing support here on the North Coast. But if you wish to contribute financially to ours, you can click this link or, in the case donated items, send me a PM and we will make arrangements for them.
