After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, thousands were displaced and had to start from scratch. There are millions of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic, and most lack access to essential rights such as health care and education. Esperanza provides services to those who need it most, and 40% of those are Haitian, but many do not speak the native Spanish language.
David, your donation has made it possible for Antolin and his classmates to receive this essential literacy program. All class members arrived with no Spanish knowledge, thus making it difficult to continue their studies. In this class they are learning basic grammar and phrases so they can begin to integrate into society.
