My Story
During a trip to the Dominican Republic in November 2014, I witnessed first-hand some of the most saddening situations the destitute communities are faced with. Yet in the midst of such darkness, I also saw the positive impact that Dove Missions has had on many lives in Puerto Plata.
Given my sincere love for Latin America and the Caribbean, I felt compelled to do something; to not be a bystander or a silent observer. So, with great conviction I've decided to volunteer my time and skills at Dove from March 2 - April 3, 2015.
While there, I'll be largely focused on:
- Helping with curriculum redesign
- Leading dance and other art workshops
- Community outreach in Puerto Plata
I'm thoroughly passionate about doing charity work abroad. I am confident that it's my calling and that I have been destined to use my gifts and talents to help others. I've been blessed in so many ways and really feel a sense of purpose and joy when I'm able to share these blessings with others. Why not join me in this mission?
How You Can Be A Part
To make this trip possible, I will need to have raised $3,000. This will cover the costs of my travel, accommodations, insurance, food, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses. I know that it'll be quite a ways before I reach my goal but I need all of the help I can get and really can't do this without you.
Here are the ways that you can be a part of this initiative:
- Make a donation - click that big orange button or submit cash/cheques to me in person
- Spread the word - use the share options above to help me get the word out far and wide within your networks
- Encourage me - this is not an easy undertaking and I need all of the encouragement and support I can get. Feel free to use the comments box below
I believe we can work together to make wonderful things happen for the children in Puerto Plata!
