With all kinds of fund raisings, the Sosúa kids Foundation, with chairwomen Janet Williams, gathered enough money to provide 540 children of school equipment this week.
The children receive a voucher worth 1600 pesos which they can spend at Casa Nelson department store in Puerto Plata to receive a filled backpack.
The school equipment consists of a school uniform and notebooks, books and writing utensils.
The department store will account for a 10% discount.
Yesterday they started handing out the vouchers in the neighborhood of La Cienaga.

Soon to be followed by El Simillero and Sabaneta, Casa Felises the Niño, Charamicos, Montellano and Camú.
There are also a lot of school supplies donated by various people.
These stationery, backpacks, shoes and clothing will find their way to poor families.
A special mention deserves Sylvia Berkley of the foundation 'Help Sosúa Kids to School' from Holland.
She raised an amount of 275,890 pesos for Sosúa Kids.
