SCHOOL OF DANCE

Teen leadership girls week with dancers from Genesis School of Dance involving teen girls from D.R. churches we work with on the north coast.

COMMUNITY GARDEN

In 2020 we started a garden project behind the pastor’s house. Dominicans collaborated to till the land and plant vegetables. They had to depend on God to send the rain, and were able to yield some to eat and some to sell for the ministry. The village well does not have enough water for this project.

FRUIT PLANTATION

39 fruit trees will be planted in 2024 in order to increase the variety of food available. Banana, coconut, lime and orange trees, etc.

NEW WELL

This has been constructed with a well house. The well is necessary in order to have a successful garden and also to bring more water into this community. A cistern has been built to store water on the side of “prayer mountain”

(a high hill behind the garden).

Water lines have been laid from the street (well) to the well house, garden and cistern – over 2000 feet of lines.

DENTAL CLINICS

The Rotary Club of Ontario with their dental team has been tending to the dental needs of our school occasionally.

FAMILY SUPPORT

Supporting pastors families that work with DVI, and a grandmother with her 4 orphaned grand kids, who have no means of support.

FOOD DELIVERY

This is a project of Dominican Eyes Plus (Karen C) and DVI contributes funds towards it. It is a weekly food distribution in local villages to mainly AIDS and cancer patients. Members of our groups join Karen when we are in DR to help her with this food run.
