SOLVING DILIGENCE PROCESS

Dear Donors: 

With the aim to keep you updated on our progress, hereby we inform to you that our foundation still is involved in the diligence process.

Specifically we are engaged in the following:

• We still are waiting for the City Hall approval of the design and budget
of the school.

We still are waiting for the land use permission from the
aforementioned institution.

We are making our best efforts to solve the situations with the local municipality that have affected the issue of the
appropriate permissions, so it has unfortunately delayed the beginning of the construction of  our school.

In the upcoming months, we plan to keep you updated! If you have any comments or questions please do not hesitate to contact to us and we will try to answer as best we can.

Thank you very much again for your generosity

Firstly, we would to start our project report by saying thank you again, to those of you who donated generously and selflessly. As you know, your money will be directly benefiting 320 children in need, through the construction of a new elementary school. This and all the reports to follow will update you periodically on our progress and your donation money at work here in the Dominican Republic.

As you can see from our photos, we are in the initial stages of construction. Specifically, we are engaged in the following:

  • Creating a geographical study of the area.
  • Drawing up designs for the following: the sanitation system, electricity system and the building structures themselves.
  • Clearing the vegetation (80% completed) and leveling the site's topography (80% completed).

 In the upcoming months, we plan to keep you updated! If you have any comments, advice or questions, please feel free to direct them our way and we will try to answer them as best we can. Thanks again for your patronage!
