VISITORS LETTER

Deb and Mike were here this week to volunteer at the Centre.  They were a big help to the kids with their puppets, and Mike's English classes were well let's say, very entertaining!.  Deb and Mike along with the Good Shepperd Church in Englehart Ontario, have been Dominicanada's biggest financial supporters and helped us launch the Youth Development Centre, for which we will be forever grateful.  This is what they had to say about their experience with the children:

"Hola,
We had the great privilege of visiting the Dominicanada Youth Development Centre in Puerto Plata and what a great place!  With a little thought, it was possible to bring great joy to the children's lives.  It does my heart good to see that despite the poverty these children live in, a very small act gets you a huge smile.  If you have the chance to visit the Dominican, then you MUST take just one morning or afternoon and get your "happy tank" filled to the brim, the kids are such a joy.  The teachers and children take what we throw away without any thought (a pop bottle in this case) and made a wonderful puppet creation (and great teaching tool!).  As always Cathy proved to be a great host and brings hope and empowerment in a quiet and respectful way to God's precious little ones.  It's easy to be a part of it - just do it!  Together we can!" 
Mike and Deb, Ontario Canada
