IMPROVE SCHOOL FOR 700 DOMINICAN STUDENTS IN NEED

Dear donor, may you receive a warm greeting. Because of you, we can keep helping young people living with economic deprivation. Donations from caring people like you enable us to build a better future for the students of the Ann & Ted Kheel Polytechnic School.

Truthfully, we could not do this without you. We, and those we serve, sincerely appreciate your generosity.

We are involved in the developing stages of our project. The details are the following:

• The staffing of the office that will host the Neo-RD Alliance project (mentioned in previous reports) has been delayed due to some bureaucracy matters, given that not only our partner Neo-RD Alliance/Educa is involved but the Ministry of Education of the DR as well.
• Aiming to improve the operational efficiency, a modern peripheral sound system and an electronic door at the administrative office have been installed  
• 13 recent graduates are concluding a two-month internship at Grupo Puntacana company (in the areas of Hospitality, Maintenance, Laundry and Water/Power Services) who were granted with the corresponding work benefits, in order to complement the technical skills training provided by the school through the direct contact with the work environment, which will influence their future profession and create job opportunities for them.
•  Three students performed on the last September at the “Third Punta Cana Poetry Festival” (at Puntacana Village), reciting their own poems. Also forty students participated in a “Literary Workshop” at the facilities of the school, which was taught by a female Dominican poet.
•  A few days ago we sponsored the participation of twenty first graders in the “Conciertos de la Villa”, a classical music event of high artistic quality which allows the assessing to the cultural and historical wealth of the Colonial City of Santo Domingo.
