Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
One project of Dominican Starfish Foundation has been to help the large marginalized population of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic.
During Covid, several donors from Canada and the United States helped some of the women in one the impoverished Haitian villages in the Dominican Republic take a hair and nail course so that they could have the means to work and feed their children. This was the brainchild of Clarens Descorias who lives and helps in that community. He is now Dr. Clarens Descorias. Donors from Dominican Starfish Foundation have helped him to become a doctor.
After teaching these skills to several women, Clarens found different donors who helped make it possible to build a center where some of these women could work and provide for their families.
Show Home Furniture from Calgary, Alberta helped with the plumbing and electricity.
Now Show Home Furniture is helping again to make an addition to the center to have a classroom for teaching others to do nails and hair and learn English. The women are now sharing their skills to empower others. They would like to invite others to join them in making this addition possible.
These are the moms and sisters of those suffering in poverty in the refugee camps.
They desperately need more space to teach others!
In this video, Dr. Descorias passionately asks for our help to make this possible. He has championed his cause to help the women in the Haitian communities.
Yes, he is passionate and talks very fast so we have transcribed his words here.
"Hi, good people. I am Clarens Descorias down to the Dominican Republic. I am a Haitian doctor volunteering with Dominican Starfish Foundation, especially in the Haitian refugee camps.
Last year, Show Home Furniture helped us to do plumbing and electricity in our center.
This year Show Home Furniture are interested in two projects in the Dominican Republic. The first one is helping a single mom have a house that costs $15,000. The second project is adding a classroom to our same center where we can teach youth nails, hairdressing, and English in the community. "
Please help Show Home Furniture decide which project they are to be involved with this summer. God bless you.
Dominican Starfish Foundation would like to thank Show Home Furniture and many others who have helped make all this possible.
We have a registered charity in Canada and the United States. Dominican Starfish Foundation in Canada and Pal Humanitarian in the United States. Both charities work together on every project and 100% of the donations go directly to the projects. Charitable tax receipts will be issued in the new year.
Thanks to all!!
