As I chat with Deaulene outside of the church la Iglesia Biblica de la Trinidad, she graces me with her bright and vibrant smile. Deaulene is of Haitian decent and has been living in the Dominican Republic for one year now. She is now enrolled in Spanish classes here at the church in order to feel more comfortable in her new home. Deaulene is now learning Spanish in order to continue studying Medicine, something she was previously doing in Haiti. Thanks to your donation, Deaulene is now able to continue studying for a brighter future. She can now begin to communicate with her neighbors, and says thank you for supporting her to do so!

Thank you, Laurent!

Felicia is an associate of Esperanza who is able to support her 3 children thanks to the microloan she took out with Esperanza. Felicia sells clothing in her community of Samaná, and was able to receive a cavity prevention program thanks to donors like you.
