IMPROVE SCHOOL FOR 700 DOMINICAN STUDENTS IN NEED

Dear donor, may you receive a warm greeting. We continue focused on getting better life conditions for the students and all of the members of the Ann & Ted Kheel Polytechnic School in the community of Veron, through the improvement of this educational center.

Your support has made the difference in this process !.

We are still involved in the developing stages of our project.

We are glad to share with you the facts of our project in the last months:

The details are the following:

• The equipping stage of the administrative offices and the office that will host the Neo-RD Alliance project (mentioned in previous reports) has begun. Please see the pictures attached. We hope to finish as soon as possible with the collaboration of our partner Neo-RD Alliance/Educa. Please see the picture attached.
• We are currently enhancing even more the facilities. The Ministry of Education of the Dominican Republic donated a set of modern equipment (valued at RD$ 3 millions) for the chemistry, physics and biology lessons, as a way to recognize the good performance of the school. In that sense, we are adapting a space (laboratory) to accommodate the equipment and initiating a training program to the personnel responsible for teaching these subjects, in order to take advantage of this donation in the best possible way. Please see the picture attached
• The school hosted a “Talk on Hispanic Literature” by the renowned Professor Santiago Garcia-Castañón and a Cultural Exchange event together with the Samford’s School of the Arts. Please the pictures attached
• Also we began the Voluntary Military Service program together with the Security Department of Grupo Puntacana and the Ministry of National Defense,  it consist on training programs in human values directed to the students to turn them into men and women at the service of the country and its development. Please see the picture attached.  

In the upcoming months we will keep you updated on the progress of our project.

If you have any comment, advice or question, please let us know and we will respond as best we can.

 Thank you very much once again for your support !

 Best wishes !
