For generous souls: want to make a difference?

Help Dominican children by bringing extra school supplies on  your  next trip. Items such as pens & pencils, lined paper, bound notebooks, rulers, folders, markers and crayons are always in short supply and are always greatly appreciated. Donations can be made through Integración Juvenil on (809) 586 2020, a local charity based in Puerto Plata, devoted to helping at risk youth living on the North Coast. Please visit their website  www.integracionjuvenil.org for more details.

Also several visitors to the Dominican Republic have commented on how good they felt about packing a few gifts for Dominican children in their suitcases. These they distributed when taking tours into the countryside. Several suggested the following:

Baseballs, baseball gloves, bats (used or new)
Baseball caps
Play dough
Coloring books and crayons
Stickers and Candy
