The Dominican Republic Education And Mentoring Project (The DREAM Project) will be inaugurating its first secondary education facility on Friday, November 23rd at the CADIN School in Islabon, Puerto Plata. This inauguration coincides with The DREAM Project's fifth anniversary. According to Patricia Suriel, DREAM's executive director, this facility was not needed five years ago because only 35 children out of 1,400 in the communities DREAM worked in even attended the 8th grade. Now, five years later, 140 children are attending 8th grade. Thanks to continued support from the original group of donors, the CADIN School has been able to expand. In The DREAM Project's five years of existence, they have helped more than 4,000 students in ten schools and community centers, affecting the lives of over 10,000 people in ten different communities. For those interested in learning more about The DREAM Project, an exhibition "Winter DREAMS 07" will be held at the Motif Art Gallery December 14th, in Sosua, Puerto Plata. Exhibition proceeds directly benefit The DREAM Project. For additional information on the organization, you can also visit www.dominicandream.org (http://www.dominicandream.org).
