June 2023

Today, Jeff and Brooks arrived in the Dominican Republic with an impressive haul of almost 250 pounds of school supplies. These supplies will be delivered to the supported schools on July 3, just in time for the upcoming academic year. But they won’t be alone in their efforts. Tracey, Lilly, Piper, Heather, and Carissa will be joining them, bringing an additional 350 pounds of school supplies. We are absolutely thrilled about our upcoming visit to Celeste Faro and Colegio Christianos on July 3. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Western Oaks School, Piedmont Public Schools, and our incredibly generous donors. Once again, they have played a vital role in making this endeavor a reality. The impact of these contributions cannot be overstated. When the school year begins in September, these children will be greeted with sufficient school supplies and teacher aids. This will undoubtedly enhance their educational experience and help create a better learning environment for them. The excitement among the children is bound to be palpable as they embark on this new academic journey. Together, let’s unlock the boundless potential within every child. With the power of education and the generosity of our supporters, we are building a brighter future for the students of the Dominican Republic. Join us on this incredible journey of empowerment and transformation, as we inspire minds, ignite dreams, and make a lasting impact. Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Education is the key, and together, we hold the key to a better tomorrow. Previous Next
