UPDATE: April 2009 Our project in Palave is up and running. Things we accomplished: 1. DR -We purchased 2 sewing machines. The seamstreeses are making school uniforms for the kids, getting them back into school 2. DR -We delivered baseball equipment to the community. Agapita, our partner in Palave, has the kids baseball league up and running keeping them off the streets. 3. DR - We delivered Spanish to English lessons and Agapita is already holding classes. Hopefully, by learning English, many in the community will be able to move into more lucrative tourism jobs. 4. DR -We still need to fix the Community Center. Unfortunately, it sustained more damage with hurricane Ike. 5. HAITI - Watch our YouTube videos we filmed in Haiti November 2008>> (Click on a thumbnail to view)
