The AES Dominicana Foundation has donated to the Dominican Rehabilitation Association (ADR) a modern rehab and community center in Los Mina, in eastern Santo Domingo. The donation is part of the corporate social responsibility chapter of the power company.
On hand for the opening of the new center were Edwin de los Santos, president of the Fundación AES Dominicana and Mary Pérez Marranzini, founder and president of the board of directors of the ADR, the most important rehab institution in the Dominican Repubilc.
At the inaugural, De los Santos explained: “When we began preparations for this center in 2014, our initial idea was to provide for the rehab needs of Los Mina. As the plan advanced, it evolved to be a much more inclusive project, a center that reached out beyond, where persons with different disabilities and community needs could be served. Thus, sports, recreational and community facilities were added, a multi-use hall for meetings, conferences and cultural presentations on the 2,000-square meter site. The facility has high roofs, solar panels to supply energy.
Pérez Marranzini highlighted that the alliance with the foundation ensures the continuing of services in Santo Domingo East.
