Dear Friends and Family,
Greetings from the Dominican Republic! I am writing to offer you all an opportunity to directly impact the lives of Dominican youth in my community. The Peace Corps offers a grant program through which volunteers can solicit donations for locally initiated projects from their friends and family. This is your chance to make an impact.
Celebrando el Sur (Celebrating the South) is an annual weekend-long youth conference focused on diversity and cultural understanding here in the southern region of the DR. The South is the least developed region of the country and youth throughout the area face great economic hardship and a lack of opportunities. I will be bringing two young people from my community and together with the 60 other conference participants they will participate in a variety of challenging talks and activities, broadening their perspectives to the experiences of others around them and people throughout the world. My kids rarely travel outside of our community, and this conference is an amazing chance for them to meet other young people from the South in a positive, stimulating environment.
I sincerely ask for your contribution to our fundraising efforts. I assure you that every dollar you are able to give will directly impact the lives of these young people. You can read an official grant summary online and donate by visiting the following website:
www.peacecorps.gov/contribute
Click on Donate to Volunteer Projects then select Caribbean as the region. The project is listed as Celebrando el Sur Youth Conference under the name M.Watson, and the project number is 517-249.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns.
Your support will make this project a reality. Thank you so much!
