Donate Financially - Many of the orphanages in the Dominican Republic are begun and operated on the simple faith that God will provide. And many time, the orphanage management reminds the Orphanage Outreach volunteers that they and their financial support are truly a gift from God. The financial needs of the orphanages are large, and their local sponsorship is small.
Money is needed for food, water, facilities, staff, school, and other necessities.
And future needs, I.e. advanced education, get closer and closer. Help meet these needs by signing up for an easy, no hassle automatic monthly credit card or checking account deduction, or by receiving monthly reminders. The Touch the Future 2001 Summer Program plans are aggressive in order to involve children from additional orphanages. We plan to more than double the program we had in 2000 by inviting children from orphanages in Los Brazos, Nagua, Neiba, San Juan, and Laguna Salada to participate. Having children from multiple orphanages participate will require additional sleeping, cooking, restroom, dining, and classroom facilities.
