We are proud to be sending more students than ever to school on Change My Stars scholarships!
First, let me just say that summer camp this summer was better than ever! We reached more kids, engaged more volunteers and local teachers, and even took a trip to the zoo in Santo Domingo after week 5 where the theme was animals. It is already apparent that next year we will have to split into two camps - one in Padre Granero where we have had it the past two years, and one in Munoz. This summer we bussed dozens of kids from Munoz to the camp in Padre Granero, and 13 kids from Los Dominguez. Check out vidoes (made by volunteer coordinator Joanne Ng) here.
Alright, for the past few years we have had 3 kids on scholarship. This year that was upped quite a lot. Here are the 2014-2015 scholarship recipients:
Eriverto in 7th grade at Perpetuo Socorro.
Piterly in 8th grade at the Centro de Educativo Padre Granero, hopefully soon to be moved to Perpetuo Socorro.
Miguelina in 9th grade at Santa Rosa de Lima.
Freddy studying Modern Languages at the University of OyM.
Aniverca at Escuela de Educacion Especial.
Kerenchy in 7th grade at Colegio Mundo Feliz.
Engly (Jon) in 5th grade at Colegio Mundo Feliz.
Wadner in 9th grade at Perpetuo Socorro.
Naomi in 9th grade at Perpetuo Socorro.
Chinaider in 9th grade at Perpetuo Socorro.
Milena in 5th grade at Sueno de los Ninos.
Wow! That was a lot of back to school shopping! :)
We hope to run a winter Change My Stars camp but are short on volunteers at this point. If you are interested in volunteering with us in early January, check out this link.
Thank you always for your support!
