Dictionary of Sosúa

The author Omar Messón, he is one of the four members of the 'Thursday night writers collective' of Sosúa, has compiled a dictionary of our beach resort. Saturday, February 25, the special work will be presented to the press and everybody else interested. The 'dictionary' is actually a reference book about famous personalities born and raised in Sosúa and who have made a special contribution for the benefit of the community.

The book is filled with facts, anecdotes, descriptions of events that have a significant impact on the development of the beach resort. It's not a boring reference book, because the humor, Omar Messón affirms, is not lacking. The location where the presentation of this particular work will take place is not yet confirmed but is thought to be in a lounge in Sosúa Bay Casino.

Volunteers from Canada build a house

In three weeks, five volunteers from Winnipeg, Canada, have built a comfortable house for an elderly couple. The elderly couple whose husband suffers with heart problems, until recently lived under miserable conditions. It was a shack with no running water, no electricity and no toilet. Furthermore, the man had no money for medicine for his heart disease. Five volunteers of the foundation 'Dominican Connection International' led by Walter Warkentin, built in three weeks-time, a beautiful new house just beyond Arroyo Seco (a hamlet in the district of Sosúa).

They worked there every day, assisted by five to seven Dominicans. Sunday the house was officially handed over to the happy couple. The volunteers of the foundation 'Dominican Connection International' previously built a school (for 120 pupils aged from 5 to 14 years) and a church in Arroyo Seco. They have also built a basketball court. The teachers are Dominicans who received their salary from the foundation. Pastor Hipolito Chala (everyone calls him Pastor Charlie) is in charge of the entire project. The foundation also arranges medical consults in Charamicos every two weeks in which Canadian and Dominican doctors provide free consultation and free medicines to the poor.
When the volunteers of the foundation 'Dominican Connection International' reside in Sosúa they always stay at the Sosúa by the Sea Hotel.
