Greetings Dear Donor. Thank you very much for trusting our social initiative. Our labor is possible thanks to the contributions from good-hearted people like you.
This and all the reports to follow will update you on our progress and how your donation is been invested aiming to benefit thousands of people living in Veron and other deprived communities of the province, who can not access ophthalmological services given their limited economic resources. Many of them are at risk of blindness due to treatable visual diseases
The construction of the facilities is completed (we mean the first stage of the project), it was stopped due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the restrictive measures imposed by the Dominican government to stop its spread.
We are currently focused on equipping the clinic areas and the staffing as well (We hope to finish this process in first quarter of 2021) in order to inaugurate the center on the first quater of 2021 and start offering the outpatient consultations services.
Please see the pictures attached.
The signing of the collaboration agreement with the Ministry of Health (regarding the assignment of some personnel and others) has been slowed down due to the change of government in the DR
Meanwhile, a part of the facilities is being used (temporarily) as a pandemic prevention center in La Altagracia province, as a way to collaborate with the health strategies of the Ministry of Public Health of the Dominican Republic.
We will keep you informed about the progress of the project. If you have any comment, advice or question, please feel free to direct them to us and we will answer as best we can.
These are hard times, but better times will come !
We hope to continue partnering with you. Again, thank you very much !
All the best,
