In the April 2008 work began on the outstanding construction
of the kitchen and washroom at Academia de la Montanita Cristiana
and is now complete. A washroom is a truly necessary complement
to any school and is located as a separate structure a few
meters from the school building. The kitchen is now outfitted
with a gas stove, counter tops for preparatory work, serving
and storage areas. These enhancements mean that food and cooking
utensils do not have to be transported to the school every
day. In addition, cooking will no longer be done on large
stones on the ground or food prepared in a dusty, uncontrolled
area.
This phase completes the construction of the school facility
in its entirety for this project and has touched an entire
village with hope, progress and destiny.
Academia de la Montanita Cristiana has now been providing
education and nutritious meals to the underprivileged children
of Barahona for over three years. They have grown in many
areas of their lives. They are very disciplined and respectful
and show improved educational grades.
This bright future is made possible by the generous donations
of corporate partners like KPMG and our monthly sponsors and
donors to whom we are grateful for their faithfulness. We
also extend a special thank you to Ishani Slocomb for her
fundraising efforts last fall. We invite others to join with
us as monthly sponsors to change and affect the lives of these
children!
