Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
Clarens is a hard-working, dedicated young man with lofty goals of helping his people in Baraguana. He has a music program, an English program and strives to have Dominican and Haitian friends interacting and learning together.
Recently Bruce and Mary Cahoon of Calgary, Alberta, along with a few others donated the money so that Clarens could purchase a small plot of land in Baraguana, Dominican Republic so that he could build a home. He is so grateful and excited. We would like to help make this happen for him.
Clarens is a motivated young man. He moved to the Dominican from Haiti after the big earthquake in 2011. He has proper documentation to live legally in the Dominican Republic. Last year, people who were impressed with his ambitions and goals for his music classes, paid for him to visit a university in New York for a week.
Clarens spends his time to help improve lives in the impoverished and vulnerable community of Baraguana.
He has also directed a school in Baraguana and has done volunteer work there since 2012. He works with a foundation from Quebec, Canada, PEA Iniciativa para la Comunidad in Les Artisans de Paix Internationale which helps with the children's programs. Dominican Starfish Foundation has taken several groups to volunteer at his school and in the community.
We now want to work together to help Clarens build his home where he is hoping can also be a place to house music and English classes.
