These are definitely the most challenging times we've had in our lifetimes. Like it is true in the rest of the world, the Dominican Republic has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students have not been able to return to in-person learning. There has been an effort in the country to carry out schools remotely but the lack of resources has greatly affected the quality of learning. Most students do not have internet at home and most school districts can not provide mobile devices to them. These are very sad times indeed.
We are looking forward to celebrating the holidays with some of these Dominican children. Toys have been sent and are waiting in storage to be delivered to them on Christmas day! It is our privilege to be able to put a smile on their faces amid these trying times. Thank you all for your generosity and commitment to this project. May God bless you all. We're in this together.
