More videos on You Tube, later on. I shot these personally while volunteering.
Hey Friends,
I hope you are all fine.
I am lucky to have a solid home, but many of the residents of my part of town, Santo Domingo Este, do not share the same luck.
I participate at the San Lorenzo de Los Minas Catholic Church and many of the parishioners and inhabitants around the church live in extreme poverty and have lost their home s and even loved ones.
Please let me know, if you think you can contribute economically or even as a volunteer when ever you have a chance to visit here one day. The amount does not matter.
I have two ideas.
Number one is to utilize part of the funds to provide immediate relief.
I will meet with the Parish Priest and the Community Council to identify some families that need the most assistance.
Another project that your contribution will support is that we are trying to establish a long term response to the present reality in the Dominican Republic with an Italian/American Non Profit Avsi Usa/International and the local Dominican Organization Jesuit operated Centro Montalvo. The Jesuits are very involved in accompanying Dominicans in their personal and community development.
Your checks will go either to the San Lorenzo Catholic church,direct families or Centro Montalvo. I will let you know.
I am attaching photos of the devastations.
I will keep you updated
Even if you are unable to contribute, or already helping people in other parts of the country,Please keep the people here present in your thoughts and prayers. Folks here will also do the same for you all in your hardships, especially for every one in the rest of the DR and California.
Thanks on behalf o the San Lorenzo Community.
Fraternally
Felix
