The Dominican Republic economy began reopening in phases starting in June. But since many families remain unemployed and hence have no income or savings, Kids Alive continues to distribute food packets to needy families of our children.
Though we miss our kids, their absence from the school campus has allowed us to restart and finish construction work on the new cafeteria and sports court. We are expecting the project to be finished by early August, just in time for the children's return if the government decides if it is safe to reopen schools.
Other ANIJA School campus modifications include the reopening of the library and the addition of hand-washing stations.As the school is closed for the summer, our teaching staff is getting a well-deserved break in July!
