President Danilo Medina handed over a nursery to the community of Los Molina in San Cristobal yesterday, 3 February 2015. The nursery, built at a cost of over RD$35 million, was planned for 226 children as part of the Quisqueya Starts With You program.
The nursery will serve the neighborhoods of Los Molina, Puerto Rico, La Guandulera and 5 de Abril. It has ten areas for caring for children from birth up to the age of five, administrative offices, staff room, room for a psychologist, a nurse and meeting rooms as well as a kitchen dining room and children’s toys.
The children in the area can now be well looked after while their mothers work or attend training courses.
This is the first nursery in the area with another 11 nurseries being built in San Cristobal at a cost of around RD$362 million.
Provincial governor Julio Cesar Diaz, special assistant to the President and nursery program coordinator Danilo Diaz Vizcaino, director general of the Presidency’s Special Programs Pedro Luis Castellanos, San Cristobal senator Tommy Galan, deputy Nelson Guillen and journalists Julio Hazim and Miguel Guerrero were present at the event, along with others including parish priest Father Juan Jose Zano.
