In loving memory of my Dad, John Flynn, who dedicated his life to the 'hotdogs' of S.H. Armstrong Recreation Centre.

PUERTO PLATA BOUND

Ally, Max and I flew back to Puerto Plata today; we’ll get Ally ready for her first day of grade 3, then I’ll purchase the school supplies and uniforms so that all my DOMINICANADA kids will be able to attend school as well.  The educational system is free here in the Dominican if children attend public school.  Our school is a municipal school, so there is a fee of $10.00 a month for our kids to go to school.  The biggest expense for the families is the school supplies and their uniforms.  Without the supplies and uniforms the children are not permitted to attend classes.
