New Bus
Here it is, the new bus to transport the deaf children! In May 2021 we started the actions for the new bus. We pay special attention to deaf children in our projects. Deafness is relatively common in the Dominican Republic. To also give this group a chance, we support some schools for the deaf in the Dominican Republic and provide transportation to the schools, which are often far from home….

Newsletter December 2022

From the Board
We regularly visit the schools in the Dominican Republic. It is important to see with our own eyes how the projects run, how the money is spent and to speak with our people on the spot. During a trip, we identify bottlenecks and discover new opportunities. Unfortunately, a visit to the Dominican Republic by Corona was not possible for the past two years. We are very excited to go to the Dominican Republic in early 2023 to see how the projects are doing….

We regularly visit the schools in the Dominican Republic. It is important to see with our own eyes how the projects run, how the money is spent and to speak with our people on the spot. During a trip, we identify bottlenecks and discover new opportunities. Unfortunately, a visit to the Dominican Republic by Corona has not been possible for the past two years. The Dominican Republic has also been seriously affected by this virus, although it seems to be slowly improving.

Christmas Action 2021

For this year’s Christmas campaign, we have selected three wonderful projects! We would like to bring them to your attention. The bus action has been running for a while; the school Julian Jimenez and the Heredia sisters are new.

Bus action to transport deaf children to school

With this action we have been working for some time. We use two buses to transport the deaf children, one large and one small.

Newsletter November 2021

From the board
The good news is that almost all the reports of the sponsor children are in and sent to the sponsors. We are doing our best to get the last reports as well.
We regularly receive questions about when we will organize another sponsored trip. Given the situation in the world, this is unfortunately not possible for the time being. The board last traveled to the Dominican Republic in January 2020.

Newsletter September 2021

From the board

September is normally the month of sending the children’s school reports to their sponsors. This year is different. We have so far received only the reports from Nigua and Bani. The reports from the other schools are being delayed by Corona. So still some patience, but we have not forgotten. What is new this year is that the reports have been translated from Spanish to English by the people in the Dominican Republic!

Newsletter March 2021

From the board

For the first time in a long time at this time of year, no travelogue of our visit to the Dominican Republic. The reason is well known: Corona. We will not go until the situation is safe again. The two appeals in the last newsletter have been very successful. The Christmas appeal for food packages for the poorest families has raised no less than € 3350. And about 300 used hearing aids were collected for the school in San Francisco de Macoris.
