Please Help the Children
The project includes a rescue sanctuary for old, abandoned or ill-treated horses, donkeys and other domestic farm animals that are brought to us.
We are currently applying for UK charitable status.
It is the intention of this project to provide for Dominican and Haitian street children in the Sosúa/Cabarete area, a home where they can learn to be partially self-sufficient with useful life skills, a safe centre where they can develop emotionally, vocationally, socially, physically and spiritually to become well-rounded adults with integrity and healthy values.
This project includes a rescue sanctuary for old, abandoned or ill-treated horses / donkeys and other domestic / farm animals that are brought to us.
*Street children would include children who roam the streets begging, shoe shining, etc.; children who are vulnerable to crime, prostitution and abuse; children who may or may not have a parent or parents alive, but whose family cannot or do not provide for them adequately. Selection is to be through official channels. It is sadly accepted that for some children it will be too late to rehabilitate them.
