Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
We met Clarens Descorias 3 years ago in the Dominican Republic. He is a motivated young man in Medical school in Santiago. He also directs several youth programs and is working to make a difference!
Clarens has been invited by Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut to visit from September 17 – September 23, 2018. He will be traveling alone as a representative of the #HipHopHeals Program and PEA Iniciativa para la Comunidad. Quinnipiac University has been collaborating with communities in the Dominican Republic for approximately four years. They worked with Mr. Descorias and PEA during a university’s service learning/global solidarity trips to the Dominican Republic. PEA Iniciativa para La Comunidad is an education program for youth and the adolescents that Mr. Descorias has coordinated since 2015. The program is located in Les Artisans de Paix Internationale Foundation in Baraguana, where Haitians and Dominicans learn English. He also volunteers for the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE), the company that helps to coordinate Quinnipiac University’s visits to the country.
This visit is crucial to maintaining the sustainability of the programs that mutually benefit both students and the youth and families they work with within the Dominican Republic. His visit to Connecticut will be completely funded by Quinnipiac University; including travel, lodging and food expenses.
The funds being raised are for obtaining a student visa to visit the United States.
